Thanks for the replies!

Soledad you were rebellious? No... Congratulations btw. I hope to get back to school soon and finally get my bachelors.

Marcos, how cool! I've always loved gymnastics! I'm not very flexible unfortunatly so I doubt I'd be very good. I forgot that I did do a short stint in track and field but a sprained ankle cut my career very short...LOL I can't remember how I hid that from my parents but somehow I did.

Red and Jim, I can empathize completely. Further proof of my dorkiness...I worked at McDonald's!

Sheila, I can see you as a skating queen! Somehow it suits you.

Buster, class clown? Yeah I see that.

Aww Xena, I can relate. My best friend from high school and I went to our five year reunion and suddenly all the "cool" guys were hitting on us...LOL And the "cool" girls were mostly married and had several kids and looked miserable. Kinda felt like "Revenge of the Nerds"

wild with a little bit of a mean streak. I got into fist fights with boys who were mean. One boy put a cat inside a locker with a cherrybomb The poor cat was bleeding from its ears after that.. I flew into him with all my might and punched him in the face until he turned green and purple. Then I was sent home for 3 days.

Smart, but kept it quiet. Got abusive teachers into trouble with the admin without getting in trouble myself. Was liked by students in just about every cliche. Was protected by members of 2 rival gangs. "Edited" the speeches of the school council president and ghost wrote speeches of several candidates for the council while never running for office myself. All the while being a good JW. I was basically untouchable as far as teachers were concerned. I went to school at a time it was cool to be different (translate: rebellious), so my JW differences were not a negative.

I have always been a loner and never had another JW in the schools I attended (no spies). I loved school and still love taking courses just for the joy of learning. I still make abusive or lazy teachers nervous and am still fairly "smart" depending on what you think smart is. I still tutor or teach people in several subjects and I enjoy seeing that light of understanding come on; that moment I know they don't need me any more.

That was back in the 60's, but I remember pretty well. I was pretty popular, but not part of the real elite group, and known as one of the smart girls. Some of my girlfriends were the cheerleaders (those elections in my school were a popularity contest for the most part) and I had lots of guy friends too. I got really good grades, and had all the counselors and teachers on my back because I wasn't planning to go to college. My nickname was Maxie, because my last name was Maxfield, and there were two other Marilyns, who were in our "clique", so they gave me that nickname. I was involved in many school activities and was a class Historian.

Our family had money, so I had great clothes. Wish I had them now..............and could fit in them.

I was a witness, too, but things were much more relaxed back in the 60's. One of the boys at my congregation, was a star athlete at our school. He is now a very prominent elder in Oregon. Guess it didn't mess up his life, eh?

At another school in our area, there were four witness kids. Two of them were Student Body officers, and one was a cheerleader, and two were on the Senior Committee. One of those girls father was the City Overseer. Who can figure?

I never made it past 10th grade.... but, while in school, I let a double life.... JW at home, but a "greaser" at school. I was one of those that sat in the back of the bus and smoked.

I would get in fights alot in 10th grade.... and failed most of my classes. On the last day of school, I hit the road for better things, and more fun things... leaving the JW crap behind.

I was a fairly good student; graduated 5th in my class (but there were only 35 of us). Of course, I stuck out as a sore thumb. I was the only Jehovah's Witness in the whole school. There were countless debates at recess centered on JW beliefs. My most knowledgeable opponent, of all things, was Catholic. He was no dummy either. He introduced me to my first anti-JW pamphlet. Thus began my years of questioning, doubts and eventual out. Socially, I didn't participate in any extra curricular activities. Refusal to say the Pledge and sing the National Anthem raised a few eyebrows, but no action was taken. Except for the debates, it was an isolationist life.

I was a huge dork. That is until I started to play sports. I played Hockey and Football for the local highschool (like any good dub I was home schooled during my high school years) and was quite good until I blew out my left knee.

High School was a blast! This is were I started to fall out and begin thinking, girls took over my brain and I could not control my spiritual beliefs and threw them aside. I started dating worldly girls drinking and smoking drugs as a JW teenager. In grade ten I said screw it and started playing rugby and joined the cycling team and won the championship race. The Football coach asked me to play on the team and I made it as well but quit cause I hurt my neck. Yup I was a jock. It was in grade 11 when I stopped going to meetings.

I was always doing wild stuff at parties, I invented the portable double bottle opener, I once let a fire extinguisher free in this guys basement, threw a guy threw a wall at a party, invented the beeramid, I wish I could remember it all.
