At the regional meet my junior year was the only meet of the season that you can qualify for state finals and I was planning on making it with my 4x400 team.  We were very close to getting that time and place to make it, but something else happened that was far greater.  My 4x800 team pulled the fastest time ever at Mott and we broke the school record and made it to state finals!

The way we accomplished this was totally random.  All we set out to do was to stay behind the Walled Lake Western team the whole race and thats exactly what happened.  Our previous times werent even close to breaking the school record and we dropped our time that day by 20 seconds.

Our two seniors Zack and Josh pulled out the first two . . . Read More..

One time in our AP Biology class, our teacher Mr. Mandley had us discect a cat.

I am sure this is nothing new to most high schoolers and I guess this is a common memory among people going through school.

But I guess I will just explain some of the things I remember just for my own documentation of what went on.

We all gathered in groups of 4.  My group was Millicent , Jessika , and I cant even remember the 4th person that was in our group now.  I think it was another guy.  He was kind of in one of those other clicks if I can remember right.  He even used to play this Neo Geo handheld a bit in class.

Anyway, we got our corpse of a cat and we named him Quequog.  (After the character in moby dick).  Our cat wasnt just any old cat.  This fucker had the most obscure and large organs as well as skin that is as tough as a pigskin football.

We first had to skin the fur off of it and that I can recall took an entire class period.

His Response:

Yea I remember my first day, I remember the people next to my locker. I loved having my brother to help guide me and support me. We also had a really fun guy near our lockers.

I remember at the time I already new many new people from Band camp and also football. I even was dating Millicent Motzny at the time probably. So things were going good.

There was so much excitement in the air. Being a freshman definitely sucks. You have no respect. And rightfully so...

It was sweet cause I probably didnt even take the bus on my first day of high school. My brother drove me everywhere.

The first days of high school and college is all rules and syllabi, you get your expectations set that day and you get to meet your teachers and professors.

I was Oakland County's scholar athlete of 2000. There was only one person from each school that was picked by teachers as being exceptional in class and in sports. I got my bio in the paper and everything...

I remember my name being called off on the announcements when Clingan and I broke the school record.

I actually cant remember much more than that. I was track captain and was section leader in marching band. But I never got a ton of awards. Oh well.

His Response:

Yeah they werent too great.

The band would always march in there.

People would seem to like the band playing different songs at the Pep rallies.

The football players would always be the center of attention. But there would be many different games and activities that people would do.

I remember we would get out of class early which was great.

They were pretty fun. I didnt hate them. I just liked socializing and goofing off with all my friends and cheering on those athletes about to go into a big game.
