Ahh yes, every time I manage another great achievement, my parents joke about how to best rub it in the face of that school administrator who said I'd grow up to be a pizza delivery guy. Of course we still haven't followed through, and its really way too late now for them to even remember.
(For context, I went to an over-achiever magnet school my freshman year of HS. They pushed so hard, that I basically broke and became an academic failure. The administrator in question was at that school. I did the remaining 3 years at my normal HS, where I actually did quite well. Though it did take those 3 years to recover my GPA.)
