From (High School Days) Original Memory Interview Question

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.

From (High School Days) Original Memory Interview Question

His Response:

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.

From (High School Days) Original Memory Interview Question

His Response:

Probably the 1500 dollars I put down on the Suzuki that I have been driving ever since then (about 8 years now).

It definitely was worth it.

The thing that really sucked about it was the fact that it was almost my entire life savings up until then. I barely had any money left.

I remember in high school I used to compare everything to the amount of money it cost for a videogame system.

So if something like my car was equivalent to 8 playstation 2s.... that was some serious cash flow.

All of my life growing up at the Hendricks House , my grandma Taylor used to collect all of her pennies for months and give them to Verda Taylor my brother and I.

We stored them in a large glass water container that had to of been from the 1950's.  The container got so heavy over the years that it was so difficult to even lift.

So finally when I was in 8th grade, my brother, nicholas Azzaro and I counted them all up in my basement.

The total amount from pennies was roughly 400 dollars!  We spent all day counting them and the bank thought we were insane!

What an interesting thing for my grandmother, Verda Taylor to do.  Her growing up through the great depression sets precedence with what the true value of money is.
