” When she got back she went and saw all her old friends naturally and she felt terrible. While she had wasted her life, all but two of her pub school classmates had gone on to highly successful careers in the pharmaceutical business.”
LMAO!
The public school here is famous for turning out some of the most accomplished pharmaceutical researchers in AZ north of Phoenix. Some have gone on to research in prestigious locations like Los Angeles, NYC and even the bottom of the Colorado River. A while back I think one had studied extensively at the base of Parker Dam.
And I cry huge tears of pain and anguish that my daughter just wasn’t up to snuff... all because of my purist tendencies. If only I’d left her alone and she had finished her education in a proper school, who knows? She night have landed a good job in San Fernando’s burgeoning film industry or something.
