Gee Scott Jr, 4* 2020 WR, Bellevue (Eastside Catholic), WA (Offered 6/19)



Times have sure changed. I was a slacker in high school that only got my grades up senior year because I had plans to graduate early and get the fuck out of there and the vice principle said not with the 1.9 GPA I pulled first semester as a junior. So I got a 4.0 and stayed anyway

Got into UW rather easily. No extra curricular stuff or achievements. Just pay the 180$ a quarter and show up.

And walked 5 miles miles each way uphill to get there and was THANKFUL to do so before I dropped out

The good ole days when you could skip a quarter and use the tuition funds as seed money for a down payment on house.

 
Hehe, bought my first home early 2000's and watched my equity go up 10x ... Went for a rebuild and watched my property tax go up enough to buy a small car.
 
I got into UW on an affirmative action quota enrollment, did poorly while there, then got into an even better Grad School, did poorly there as well, and have been failing upwards due to my minority status ever since. VICTORY!
 
so glad I checked on this thread for the great Gee Scott Jr update

only to find college enrollment smack talk.

Orkin has a robust minority hiring program huh?
 
Most of my high school friends applied to both Western and UW. Some only got accepted to UW, some only got accepted to Western, some to both or neither. It wasn't so cut and dry back then which had the higher standards. Anyway, I was fucking retarded and thought I was going to marry my high school girlfriend (and that this would actually be a good thing anyway), so I didn't want to move too far away. Only applied to Western. She dumped me first quarter of freshman year.

Fuuuuuuck me. Thankfully there's an Orkin franchise in Bellingham (figuratively speaking), otherwise I'd be one of those guys selling flowers from the Meridian offramp. There is a certain subset of people who roll their eyes at the concept of "white privilege," but, goddamn, I've done exactly the opposite of the "right thing" at every single major decision in life* and yet have managed to somehow fail my way to the very comfortable middle and want for pretty much nothing. My success is certainly a product of a broken system!...

*Fun example: Most of my friends bought their first homes either in the ~2005 time frame or ~2010 time frame and immediately watched their equity balloon. Me? Hell no. What could possibly go wrong with mortgaging yourself to the hilt in May of 2008?

Are you me? 2008 is when I mortgaged myself to the hilt as well. I stumbled into a grocery job that pays my mortgage, feeds my two kids, two dogs and allows me to upkeep my acre of land while still having enough extra to have an actual saving account. I also lucked into my companies old retirement plan before they switched to the more cost effective 401K. Being a 5'10" HWP white guy has been pretty good to me in spite of my being a clueless moron.

Maybe you would have finished if you just got a horse to ride there like everyone else did at that time
