3) When I was in high school I wanted to be a teacher and we had a cadet teaching program where we went and did "student teaching" for the first two periods of the day at an elementary school.

5. I skipped 65 days of school the first semester of my junior year to go smoke pot. I didnt suffer any consequences though bc the school had my handwriting on file as my moms, I stole re-admit slips and could perfectly mimic the signature of the lady's in the attendance office, and I also stole, whited out, and made copies of a Drs note and a dentist note in my file so I always had an "excused" absence in some way, shape, or form. I also, surprisingly, graduated on time with good grades.
6. @Amjoy25 I've eaten my fair share of rolls too!
