For some reason, the high school that I attended is not on this list.

I remember meeting with my guidance counselor during the process of applying to colleges. She looked through the list of schools to which I had submitted an application and said, "Goodness, I've never even heard of these colleges! Are they good?" Needless to say, one was an Ivy League school and another was one of the best private schools in the South.

It's about expectations, people. Somehow, with great effort, I surpassed the bar set by the caring staff of Mastodon High.
