After having discovered sex and drugs and rock-n-roll in the early 70s, I barely graduated from high school. Interestingly, one of the courses I had to make up in summer school was gym. It was about the last time I was physically active before taking up cycling a few years back.
I managed to graduate from high school by "majoring" in Band and Shop. (sex and drugs and John Phillip Sousa?- The Sousa actually prevented the sex, which led to the drugs.
)
After a stint in the military, I had the good fortune to be able to do high school over at a community college, eventually transferring to, and getting a degree from a state university.
