Humble brag incoming.

Varsity football. 4.5 GPA. Senior class president. AP classes. Founded two clubs and was in several others. Received a couple service awards from my school too. Ended up going to an Ivy League school and now have a good paying job. Life isn't too bad

High school was one big grind. While all my friends would hang out after school, I'd have to practice/workout. Then do homework. Then study. And finally try to get the adequate amount of sleep for a teenager. It was hard and not fun, besides a few choice moments.

On weekends, I'd spend time with my family, study for the SAT, and catch up on any other studying/homework I needed to. I occasionally played video games and hung out with friends.

I didn't drink, smoke pot, or have a girlfriend until the second semester of my senior year, once I was in college and didn't have too much to worry about. I had to repress any feelings of teenage angst I had and had to actually be friendly with my parents, take their advice, and take whatever they were able to give me with a gracious attitude.

Long story short - I worked my ass off in high school to get into a good college. I had a lot of fun in college, got a marketable degree, and now I have a solid job that should allow me to pay off the student loans I have from going to a private school.
