Most likely to be...

**BuFfY** · 21st June 2007, 17:54

Think back to high school and your graduation photo/comment etc... What did they say you were most likely to be?

I was thinking about it today as I am teaching year 3's and 4's and with some of them you can tell exactly what they are going to be like when they grow up.

So... what was your "most likely to be" and has it come true?

Most likely to become a hired hitman.

Probably more down to the farking awful photo they insisted on using than anything to do with temperament and so on.

Since then I've been a baker, an occupational psychologist, a lab scientist in Clinical Pathology and an IT consultant specialising in software testing. Funny how life works out innit? :)

The only thing in my life that's graduated is the fines scale

It's quite ironic really, my English teacher said I'd "never amount to anything" and now I make a living from the written word.

Father Hamilton; eat shit!

No, that's a hobby.

Why, do you think I slag off cops in a professional manner?

I'm flattered.

Graduate? Stupid americanisms. You don't graduate school here. You leave when you reach 16 or the end of Year13.
Didn't have that 'Most likely to....' when I finished formal schooling. However, life is learning, so in some ways I never left school. Perhaps my 'graduation' comment will be RIP?

HA! I proved them wrong

yeah, my thoughts exactly - i never 'graduated' - i finished 7th form and didn't go back...end of story

don't tell me we're copying the americans and graduating from a zillion different sections of school now....?

Say wha... ?
We didn't have those.

But IF we did, I'm sure the comment woulda said: "You are a Dick."

I *do* like what they told my father:
"There's no way you're going to pass School Certificate, boy. But if by some fluke you DO manage to scrape through, don't bother coming back - you'll just be wasting your time and ours!"

My father must've "scraped through" as he completed a B Sc at Auckland University, a Masters with Honours at Oxford, and a Ph D at Canberra.

I don't think he went back to see the teacher at Pukekohe High to report his progress...
