    I was once told by a guidance counselor that although my grades were good and i had teacher recommendation, I could not be entered into an honors program/Advanced Placement program because of my standardized test scores from 3 years prior! REALLY???? He even went so far to tell me that i needed an IQ of a certain score, and I was 2 points under the minimum.

    I forged my mom's signature on waivers saying that my mother absolve the school of all responsibility if i failed the classes. I did well and graduated at the top of my class...

    but WHY should a kid have to fight to get in a program? Shouldnt teachers/counselors ENCOURAGE ambition and advancement??? they should have offered me tutoring help if i wanted it.. instead of discouraging me and telling me i wasnt good enough!

    Especially since you were so close, y'know?

    Anyway, I doubt it was my worst, but my most embarrassing school moment was getting caught cheating on a test. Don't know why I did it ~ must not have studied. The teacher didn't raise a fuss, she just picked up my papers and took them. But it was obvious to the class what happened, and I felt so humiliated and furious with myself. Did apologize to the teacher.

    That's shitty. My worst moments are embarrassing, not getting screwed over. There is a tie between the time Dad showed up to a parent meeting drunk and the time I fell from the top of a pyramid in cheerleading.
