‘He is the head civil engineer for a major city. Funny story about him. He was the ultimate troll before trolls were even a thing. He tricked most of the teachers into thinking he was barely literate. This went on for years and years. It wasn’t until he took the ACT and SAT and blew them out of the water that the staff realized he had been fucking with them for nearly a decade.
‘I miss that dude. He was fun to be around.’

‘I don’t know beyond what I see on social media, but the top graduates of my class still seem very successful. One went into education, one in business/consultancy, and another is a published author and continues to write. A couple of them are married, have children, traveling, running marathons, etc. Publicly, nothing big or dramatic or tragic, just leading humble and successful lives! I’m super happy for them.’
