If you could do it over again

Recently I heard on the news that a 34 year old Wisconsin woman had enrolled in high school using her daughter’s name. Her daughter, who is 15, lives out of state.  She said she wanted to relive her high school years.  She went as far as trying out for the cheerleading squad and I think she made it.  She was caught because she was truant so the school went looking for her and found her in jail.  She was in jail for a forgery charge.  Her scam was up.  Some of the kids at the school said they thought she looked a lot older, but she acted like a high school kid.  She will be spending the next three years in a mental hospital.  It’s a rather sad ending, but it got me to thinking.  If you could do it over again would you go back to high school?  Although I enjoyed my high school years,  I would not want to do them over again.  There is too much drama.  Plus are you wearing the right clothes, shoes, etc…  Do you hang out with the “right” crowd?  I was on the student council all three years of high school (my high school was 10th – 12th grade) and was active in other organizations plus was editor of the newspaper.  Pretty good accomplishments, but I wouldn’t want to go back.  I like where I am in my life.  No do overs for me.  What about you?

  1. Only if I could go back with the feelings I have about myself now vs the feelings I had about myself back then! Man, high school is wicked on the self-esteem!
