[quote=Anonymous]I was pretty middling in school - academically and socially. I had a few close friends but wasn't popular, though I was a cheerleader and in a few clubs. Pretty much the same now, though I blossomed in college and grad school and have excelled in my career. But DH live in an ordinary neighborhood, one child, enjoy travel but lead fairly ordinary lives. The kids who really went on to greatness at my school were those who had a balance of really strong academics - very smart - and great social skills whether they were technically jocks, nerds, or whatever. I will say that some of the uber nerds have gone on to amazing careers. One classmate won the MacArthur Genius award recently, another is a successful and high profile oncologist, another is a software company owner, and another wrote a book that received great reviews / acclaim. So, yes, many of the nerds went on to lead fascinating lives.[/quote]
