12. I remember getting called and grilled about my score

I'd been a consistent B student but apparently I got the highest SAT score in my school. Pretty much I'd just been doing enough to get by since school didn't challenge me. The school counselor and vice principal were upset I hadn't worked to get higher scores. So I upset them more by asking why school never offered enough to keep me interested.

Nothing is more annoying than being a moderately bright student in the school where Dad had started the Honors Society and my oldest sister had been valedictorian. I'd been compared to them, came up short, and underestimated since elementary school. Screw them - I've had a good and happy life and used more of the information I learned on my own than anything I learned in school or college.

I don't remember mine exactly, but I had a friend who signed up for 2 subject exams... flor-de-jasmim Mar 2019 #1
