She Knew Him Before He Was Famous
People change immensely between the time they enroll in high school and the 10 years after they graduate. You never know if the person you were passing notes to in that snoozefest of a history class will grow up to stick around town doing the same old thing for the next thirty years or if they’ll take off for an adventure and wind up famous.
u/zapsharon’s old classmate went with adventure, so now she gets to humble brag that she not only knew Izzy Straddin before he joined a legendary rock band, but had the honor of calling herself his friend and photographing him before the paparazzi even knew his name. Can you say the same about one of your old classmates?
