If You Could Go Back to High School…Would You?

Yesterday I heard a debate on ESPN Radio on whether basketball players should leave college early and go to the NBA, or stay in college and enjoy the remaining years as a kid. The debate really boiled down to become an adult NOW and make millions, or enjoy the fun years now as a kid, and become an adult and make millions later. The host of the shower, a former college basketball player, said if he could do anything, he would go back to college to play basketball and enjoy college life again. Chris Paul, PG for the New Orleans Hornets said if he could do one thing over, it would be to play in the NCAA Tournament as a college student one more time.
I have a feeling many people would share their sentiment about college, even those of us who haven’t played Division I sports or made millions of dollars as “adults.” But I wonder about high school. Would people regard high school in the same way?
Different people have different memories of high school. Some view it as the time of their life. Others look to it as utter misery. I’ve heard some people say if given the opportunity, they would easily go back to high school, no doubt about it. Others couldn’t be paid to go through that torture again. Some people even say they would love to go back to their high school, but there’s no way they would enter today’s high schools because of all the problems and temptations
What about you?
If you could go back to high school…would you?
