She does not qualify for a diploma after failing the English part of the high school exit exam
Obviously, the honor roll at Richmond High doesn't mean much.
I once consulted
at a firm where an intern
was a high school grad,
an honor student
on her way to college with
some kind of program
putting her on track
to an entry-level job
with the FBI. [!]
An executive
gave this intern some titles
and told her to go
to the library
and take out the books for him.
When the exec left,
the intern pleaded
with all the secretaries
begging one of them
to go get the books
because the intern said she
was always confused
by how libraries
arranged their books. [!] Probably,
that intern is now
an agent-in-charge
of some field office . . . (Bad guys
shudder in their boots . . .)
