How much have you changed or grown since high school?

Anonymous wrote: Very different. I was a stoner, cut class, big partier with decent grades but nothing amazing. Went to a state school. I found college pretty easy and really responded well to getting good grades. I actually applied myself and took the lsat. Did very well and went to a good law school. Did the whole big law thing for a few years and then became a lobbyist for the industry I specialized in. I’m very pleased career wise. Life is hard in other ways. My DH has not stepped up like I would have thought with parenting. And having little kids is hard. People from high school seem pretty shocked how I ended up whenever I run into someone. I get kind of insulted by how surprised they are, honestly.

Similar. Was not achievement oriented in high school but that all changed in college and I became very serious.

People rarely change and I have very similar insecurities. Was 6' 135 when I graduated and now 190 but was obviously a beanpole back then. Also suffered from undiagnosed depression and anxiety, which forced me out of my dream college a year later. 39 years later I had the pleasure of graduating with a masters from the same place and it healed a lot of wounds.
