Something I Learned In High School

Daily writing prompt
Describe something you learned in high school.

I can’t think of anything from high school that stayed with me as a life lesson. In a way, it set the bar a little low for me to learn from after high school, and maybe that is the lesson in disguise? I had to maintain a “C” average to play hockey; I was capable of more and maintained a “B-” with no studying. I could have been better, but the standard was minimal.

I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews, daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay honest, and to keep the conversation going. I love my Patriots and Bruins, a life long fan in bad times and good. They have been quite good for a long time now! I love spending time with my wife the best times are just doing nothing; watching tv, talking or just sitting at the beach together for a few hours. Our spot is pier 60 in Clearwater. I love the time I have with my kids when I can, they are all pretty busy. Seinfeld is about the best comedy ever. You will see me frequently comment on the show and why my blog is about nothing.

  1. I remember a lot of what I learnt in high school but none of it is of much use to me as an adult.

    1. for sure, none of the geometry is of much use. High school should teach life skills and the basics or reading , writing, history, humanities and math any class advanced should be the kid wants it and fill in the gaps with what is the stock market, how does money work, how does the economy work. Something they need.

      1. Totally agree, those are the only things we can actually take into adulthood.
