OUTSTANDING
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Doctor Doug White, PhD.
I attended St.
Patrick’s High School on Belmont Avenue in Chicago from 1955 to 1959 and
during my junior year I actually flunked all five subjects.
Try to take that report card home!
I seriously don’t remember my parents reaction but the most startling thing
that I remember is that
my mother had always told me that I was capable of being a great student, except
that I had never applied myself.
Well this was a great time to decide to apply myself since I was at the bottom
of the heap.
I thought to myself wouldn’t it be something if I got all “A’s” the
following semester?
The same night that I showed my report card to my parents I decided to
accomplish just that,
not for my parents, I did it for me.
It took being organized, late night study every night, paying close attention to
every homework assignment,
study every weekend and every ounce of effort I had…
And I remember my home room class when Brother Joseph started to go down the
first row with the results
of that semesters grades. I sat behind a guy by the name of Oscar Johnson who
always got the highest grades in the class.
We sat in the third row, he in the second seat and me in the third.
When his grade was read out loud everyone in the class applauded,
since it was the highest grade that had so far been read, yet,
when my grade was read there was complete silence in the classroom.
I remember everyone just looked at me and I smiled and said that’s one!
Oscar turned around with a frown which turned to a smile and he shook my hand
with congratulations.
I had beaten him by two points. That semester was one that I will always
remember because
at the end of that day I had reached my goal, five straight “A’s.”
The thing that made this so impressive was the fact that just the semester
before I had flunked all five subjects.
