High school glory days

Who is that person(s) that never moved past high school from you past. Don't say their real name(s). However what do they do now and happened in their lives post high school?

My father is a bit like that… periodically reminisces about what a bad ass he was. I mean, to his credit, he was. Once I had a teacher recognized my last name, and specifically asked if I was his daughter then he let me skip gym so I could fill him in on how life played out for 🎶 Jack and Dian🎶.

Dad still welds (family trade)
He’s a family man, middle-class, workaholic. That he became conservative given how.. not conservative he used to be was a plot twist.

@WhateverWorks in what way was he a bad ass? what did he do in high school that made him appear that way?

@robertsnj He was a body builder, raced motorcycles, played the guitar a bit, ‘wrong side of the tracks’. smart guy, but a bully, had his welding job, and was a player..

@WhateverWorks I would argue that someone who entered a high paying family trade like welding isn't wrong side of the tracks. Actually he got really lucky to be in that situation.

I hate that our society (in the USA) puts so much of post high school success on if the person ended up getting a college degree or not.

@robertsnj oh, no. It wasn’t the learning to weld from his mother’s best friend who owned a company that got Dad branded ‘wrong side of the tracks’. It’s that he lived in the rough, poor side of town and had a messed up homelife.
