Best Smile, Most School Spirit, Class Clown, Most Likely To Have Their Own Cooking Show, Best Style and Most Likely To Be In the Olympics. Voting for superlatives was always fun in high school. Sure, it was a bit of a popularity contest, but it was still entertaining to find out what your peers thought of you. Some titles were silly, while others were fun, but perhaps the most coveted was “Most Likely to Succeed.”
This award was an honor, but it can come with a lot of pressure as well. If you’re not headed to an Ivy League university with plans to attend law or medical school after, you might be letting your entire community down! But as we all know, who you are in high school does not determine who you’ll be for the rest of your life. Reddit users have been sharing what happened to their school’s “Most Likely to Succeed” students, so we’ve gathered some of their juiciest updates below.
