When you were in high school, did you have good grades?

Question

If you did not, then how did you end up today? Are you poor/rich? If you had chance, would you go back in time to become better student, so you can be successful today?

Answer 1

I did great in high school. I missed being an honor student by .2 of a point. I am now a house wife taking care of a disabled child by choice. I am in the middle class because I married a fire fighter. We live off his income only and what little bit of disability my son qualifies for. I consider myself successful because I have a loving family.

Answer 2

As a matter of fact, I would. I was a mediocre student in high school, just content with simply passing. In spite of repeated efforts by my mom to apply myself, I viewed high school as a social event to be savored. Later I found out that the grades I made while in high school had a profound effect on my future, primarily college. Since graduation, I've had to fight and claw my way to achieve my Bachelor's degree. My potential career paths were directly affected, also. Although I am a retired military officer with some treasured unique experiences, my professional life since then has been a topsy-turvy one filled with lay-offs, disheartening menial work and low pay. My current job affords the opportunity to work abroad, meet some really neat people while earning a nice salary, and learn a new trade at the age of 52. Would I go back if given the chance? In a New York minute!

Answer 3

I had passing grades. I was no A or B student but I made the passing grade. I work in a plastics company where we make many of the plastic components for Gillette/Proctor & Gamble. I'm the shift coordinator and a quality auditor. I'm not rich by any means and if knew what I needed to do to be rich I would definately go back in time and do over what I needed to do, but things happen for a reason. I'm happy with how my life turned out. I'd like more money...alot more but I'm happy and that's all that counts.

Answer 4

I did mediocre. Missed a lot of school due to illness and wasn't very good at math (still am not). Didn't make any difference. When I started college 5 years after graduating high school, I went through extension which didn't even require that you graduate high school. Eventually, I transferred to day school. Since they didn't have them, they didn't care what they were.

I would be more successful today were it not for a serious illness.

Answer 5

I made A's and B's for the most part. Some C's in foreign language. I have been a teacher for 30 years. I wouldn't go back for anything. When I want to know more about something now, I just learn about it on my own or audit a college class.

Answer 6

My husband didn;t do that great because he was bored in school. He didn't graduate college and is considered wealthy. I on the other hand did very well in school and got straight A's in all Honors Courses. Finished up college and got my degree, but don't use my degree so therefore if we went on my income of zero we would be poor-haha. See it goes to show you you can;t go on the grades you made in highschool.

Answer 7

i didi pretty good in school. Graduated with a 3.8. but more than i got a chance to go to college. i loved it. but i am 23 and and i still dont know if what i'm doing is what i really want to do. you can always go back but you cant go back if you never started. everyone should give it a try. i'm successful but still want more out of life.

Answer 8

For the most part, i did pretty poorly. and yes, i wish i had done things different. you don't really realize how easy school actually was until you are out in the real world and have to survive on your own.

Answer 9

I had straight A's and took advanced college placement courses too. Totally useless, as is my degree.
