What was your favorite subject in high school?
What was your favorite extracurricular activity?

Bonus: I am sucking at remember to do GTKY. How about if I forget, someone else just asks a question? If we happen to have a couple going at the same time, so much the better!

English, hands down. I love to read and to write. And strangely enough I adore grammar.

Extracurricular stuff... I guess competitive cheerleading. I didn’t cheer for my school but was on a competition team. I hated the other girls, but I loved dancing and tumbling and stunting.

Band was fun just being part of the whole orchestra and hearing all the other parts of the instruments, not the mouth pain or the practicing though. Spanish was taught in more of a fun way than other classes.

I don't think the school extra curriculars were that much fun besides the socializing aspect. I did enjoy dance.

What was your favorite extracurricular activity?

Favorite subjects in high school were biology and math. (All except Geometry. That was godawful.)

Favorite extracurricular - another tie - basketball and cross country. I had to stop playing basketball after an awful car wreck junior year, so I started coaching the middle school team because my sister was on it. It sparked my love of coaching. I loved cross country because of the team. Great people and an amazing coach who had a lifelong impact.

I wasn't a very good student. I think I had a B/B+ average? That doesn't sound that bad but I went to a really high achieving school and my 87 average put me in the bottom half of my class of 200ish. It was one of those types of schools that you could basically graduate with a year's worth of college credits under your belt if you applied yourself. I did not.

I just didn't really care that much. Art was my favorite subject by FAR. In 12th grade I took AP Psych which was v v v cool and I loved that too.


As you can guess I did not participate much in after school activities. I was in a poetry club, which was run by one of the English teachers who was a published poet himself, so I do have fond memories of that.

[helenahhandbasket]

For the record I am neither talented when it comes to art or prose; I just like / enjoy both of those things.

What was your favorite subject in high school?
History or Accounting
What was your favorite extracurricular activity?
Marching Band was fun (I did color guard which put me in total geek status) but all my friends did band so it was a way to hang with them. I also did swim team.

Loved English! So much so, I majored in it.
Drama club and dance were my favorites for after school.

[katrine05]

Physics - hence my degree in Geophysics, which I never ended up using.

Curling - so Canadian of me 😉

[erinshelley21]

1. Statistics and sociology were my favorites. Stats is how DH and I started hanging out (and making out after I did his homework lol) and I wanted to take sociology so bad I dropped working in the office to do it.
2. I only did volleyball and softball and get pick between the 2. I likes volleyball better but had to quit jr year.

[rere]

History hands down. I'm still a history buff as a hobby. Add sociology in college. I call myself an amateur U.S. Historical Sociologist, unofficially.

I lived for softall in the spring and summer and was on the dance team in the winter. That's why it bums me out that they have made sports so all consuming where it is difficult to do multiple sports.

[sandandsea]

Accounting - so much so it became my major and career

Tennis - it was my favorite sport and I was good enough to make varsity

[msn06]

Child Development was my favorite class in high school. This lead to my elementary education degree and teaching for 10 years

Student council was my favorite after/before school activity.

[supertrooper1]

Band was my favorite class. It was a small HS so it was concert and marching band. I played the flute and was band president my senior year.

Softball was my favorite extracurricular activity. I wish I would have continued into college.

[vavavictoria]

I loved English. I was in GT from 6th grade on and I enjoyed the books we read and the different ways they taught us to dissect them. And that very little grammar was taught.

I played tennis and even though my team as a whole was not great, I had fun playing. Was also a varsity player

[honeydew1894]

What was your favorite subject in high school? Hmm, it was a tie between English and US gov't. I teach English now, but I often think I would have been nearly as happy teaching SS. Historical fiction is my favorite genre.


What was your favorite extracurricular activity? That is tough. I really didn't fit in in HS so while I did some activities, I usually felt left out and awkward! Luckily, it has made me much more social and willing to reach out. As a result, college and adult life have been so much better.

[HeartofCheese]

Favorite: creative writing, physics, geometry, and algebra. Hated: trigonometry, AP history, home ec, and chem II.

Extracurricular: soccer in spring and fall and working parttime.

1. My art classes. I loved doing art but secondarily, being so shy, it was a great way for me to be social and get to know people in a small, much more casual setting.
2. See above re: shy. I didn’t do anything outside of school. In HS I took up tennis (which I love) and played with friends.

1. I have two favorites - German and TV/Video production. I loved German class because there were only 10 of us and the teacher was awesome. We got to watch a lot of movies and read fairytales (the real versions, not those Disney ones). Then we would have discussions about them in German. We had a couple of idiots in the class, so sometimes we would make fun of them in German and they would be clueless. By the time I finished high school, I was pretty fluent.
During my senior year, I took a TV/Video production class. I was quickly roped in to producing our morning news (our announcements were done via tv every morning). I was able to rotate through all of the positions and spent the last few months being the producer. My teacher also had me produce and star in a 20/20-like news show that was broadcast on cable access in our community.
2. Marching Band - In our school, the marching band was the biggest extracurricular group (about 100 kids) and we always had a lot of fun. That's also where DH and I met. The best part was going on the band trip every spring. The year that we went to Disney in FL was where DH and I started dating.

1. Math. I was lucky and my last two years of high school I had a phenomenal math teacher. He spent the time with me to teach me the gaps I had missed in previous math classes due to moving every few years and having somewhat crappy teachers. He really cared about his students and wanted each one to be successful in math. He had morning lunch and after school tutoring if needed. He also let us start a snack stash in his class. We would donate money and he would go to sam's club and stock up.

2. Cross Country, Unique set of people like cross country. We all hated practice, we all hated the meets, but we loved cross country. Very odd mindset to explain.

[mustardseed2007]

1. What was your favorite subject in high school? - probably English. I loved reading the really great novels and talking about them. Basically I loved the book club part of it.

2. What was your favorite extracurricular activity? I was in color guard and I really liked that. I wish the instructor had been better at teaching us and strengthening us so that we could be really good. My 2nd favorite was debate. I think doing that really strengthened my writing.

1. Math - I love numbers and accounting where there is a solution and everything has to balance.

2. Volleyball - I started in 6th grade and quit after JV when it became all about competition. DH and I used to play on a rec league for years and I miss it.

[covergirl82]

1. Lit, AP English, and Chemistry. I had the best teacher for Lit and AP English - he combined lit, art history, psychology, and history to make the classes so interesting. I hated Geometry (proofs were my nemesis).

2. Music - I played in the orchestra all through middle and high school. I also took classical guitar lessons.

[2chatter]

English, for aptitude, yearbook for being a class and being fun.

Debate - year round, including summer, I still miss it! I was nationally ranked and got to travel a lot as a result.
