Chapter 3 of my blog-to-book project, Life After High School: Secrets To A Successful Life By Those Who Have Had Twenty Years To Think About It (or) What They Didn’t Teach Us Gen Xers In High School continues today with the first of three interviews. This one is short and sweet.
Somehow Nick managed to take up less space answering than I did with this introduction and with the wording of my questions. Perhaps that is an indication that Nick is a man of action and doesn’t want to waste time on wordy responses. I nominate Nick Stewart for having arguably the best senior yearbook picture in our AHS class of 1996. If you missed the last post, click here, otherwise, you can start at the beginning here.
Nick Stewart
Bellingham, WA
My Life In High School
Who were you in High School and how did you feel about it?
Grunger; labeled
What did you think your life would become when you graduated?
Easy
My Life After High School
What happened in your life to you, for you, and by you in the last twenty years (how have you used your time and who have you become)?
Two equal periods of time working that include, in order, cooking and manufacturing. I am still not grown up enough to use the word career.
My Life Lessons
What were the major life lessons and wisdom that you gained during your journey over the last 20 years?
Staying healthy, good friends are very important
Letter To My High School Self
If you could write your 18-year-old self (or however old you were when you graduated) a letter, and send it back in time, what would you say? What lessons, wisdom, encouragement, or warnings would you give yourself?
Oh no, no temporal paradox for me.
Next up, a very slightly longer interview with a fellow classmate, Jessica Reik.
