That's great. I like that alot.

My freshman year of high school, I was in the top 10% of my class. Unfortunately, I fell down into the lower part of the top 20% by the time I graduated, because all the bottom students at my high school dropped out to work in mills. I actually increased my rank, but it didn't matter because the class size shrank so much. My position relative to the rest of the class was sinking lower as we lost all those on the bottom rungs.
