<p>You guys obviously live in kinder and more forgiving worlds than I do. I think it’s interesting that after all these years (assuming she’s a mom of a college student) poetgrl does remember that college-related incident from high school days. I think people remember the notable “crimes” of their classmates, like the popular cheerleader who got pregnant, the cop’s son who got arrested for the senior prank, and the smart kid who got caught cheating on the SAT. This is similarly iconic: the Asian kid (assuming by the screen name) who told people he got into Harvard when he didn’t.</p>
<p>Regardless, one’s reputation as an honest person is priceless, IMO. I would seek to preserve that.</p>
