most memorable: Getting a letter from a past student telling me how I was the most positive influence on her in high school - write a letter to one of your old teachers; you will make their day/week/year/career
!
most embarrassing: saying the word orgasm, when lecturing on organisms to a biology class

and coolest part of high school for you?: Seeing the sons/daughters of past students, and realizing that those past students have been "blessed" with children that are just like them! And sometimes, that alone is reward enough

Well for me the hardest thing was not being bored, and staying awake in class. I was the sleeper.

Hardest part of high school was graduation day knowing the real world was but moments away and college was 3 months away. I would have loved another year or two.

hardest part; dealing w/all the hateful, spiteful, judgmental people - faculty included
best part; the fact that I managed to find my mentor, and got out of there in tact, alive and with my head held high.
most memorable; all the times i got called into the principal's office, all the calls that were made home to my parents, and all the times i was defiant defiant defiant - and the fact that my parents stood behind me, every time, 100%. What do you expect when you get sent home from school for asking your teachers to sponsor you for the Philadelphia AIDS walk? Or when you get in trouble for leaving the classroom when a teacher is conducting a flat out racist class?
most embarrassing; can't remember.....thankfully.
coolest part; how is this different from "best" part? but anyhow... if I had to pick another good part, it would be my roles in the musicals every year. that was some serious fun.
High School BLEW. Life didn't really start 'till college.

hardest -- x5 (I think) on waking up so darn early.
best -- getting it over with. I was in OJT (On-The-Job) training Junior and Senior year. Jr. I only had 3 classes a semester and Sr. I only had 2.
most memorable -- Soph., Jr., Sr. proms. Buddy in our click always had a condo on the beach to use, so it was the spot for the afterparties. Jr. year, I hit the 'jackpot' as guys like to say

most embarrassing -- The couple of days I had to go with a black eye.
and coolest part of high school for you -- Getting to park with the teachers. I didn't have the standard highschool hoopty, at least in my eyes, so for the end of Soph. till the end of Sr., after I talked with the parking security guy (also a coach on the football team).
