It is true what they say Jeff Barker, some people do peak in high school. Glad to see you’ve done so well for yourself.
Wade, if you knew the circumstances of what happened you would have not said what you said. First off I didn’t peak in highschool. I went on to have a great career at Toyota and selling Fords in Texas. I raised my three kids on my own for over five years. After my brother died unexpectedly and my My dad committed suicide I was emotionally lost. I then died of a heart attack and am on more medication than can be imagined. My meds got out of whack and I made a mistake. Only god can judge me. Not a person who has never “peaked “ at all. Thank you for the nice post.
Wade, I am glad you are on here to judge me. Only Jesus Christ has that right over me. You don’t live in my household or know what goes on. Pardon me if you think I peaked in highschool. I have had a successful professional career with many awards earned.
After my brother died unexpectedly and my dad committed suicide my life went in a depressed, self pity party. All of this happened while I was raising my 3 kids on my own .
So while you sit on your high horse when most of us thought you would be a school shooter in high school I at least had a peak.
daddy you shouldn’t have made that comment about Jeff are you trying to get something started
I found my dad Chester Spence
