BUT I'M NOT A PANGUIN
Where's my penguin??

Seniorhood

Vitamin C - (Graduation song) Friends Forever
Mainly what's on my mind is what i'm going to do and how I am going to end with the last two months of my high school career. As a Senior, I am anxious to get outta high school and venture of to that fine level of higher education we call.. college. But I don't see these last two months as lethargy time. I see it as Thee Time to become closer to my fellow graduates (bondage), pass on as much of myself to underclassmen, have those "sensei to grasshopper" moments with those teachers who will forever linger in my mind and heart and to do whatever else I want/can!
Perhaps the hardest job in America (to me) is being a high school teacher. Throughout my high school courses, I would like to recognize the teachers who have made an impact on me: Mrs. Wong (Freshmen Bio EXP) - She incorporated humor with intelligence along with passion in her teaching. "Only, Wendy." "I still remember you as the kid who farted and burped a lot!" Oh Mrs. Wong, how i've grown since then (syeeeke). Ms. Rudd (Eng EXP Freshmen) - You've exploited me to the beautiful perverted world of literature. "You have a lot of spunk!" That comment embeds in my memory til this day! Mr. Quinonez aka SENSEI (Judo/Jujitsu Sophomore year) - You are the only male teacher I have ever seen cry. Don't be fooled. He can kick anyone's ass too! He definitely taught me about wisedom, courage and composure. Truly a martial arts teacher. Mrs. Malik (Chemistry Jr year) - People don't give you enough creds. You need some "oxyeegan." Hennessee (sorry if I spelt your name wrong.. I remember i did that last year on my leadership application and you were appauled haha) (0 period Current Life Issues) - Because of you, i'm layin off the crack and booze. Ms. Sarvey (Algebra 2) - is sucha babe. I like to consider her as my warm aunty. She's always in her room (well now portable) and available when you need someone to talk to about ANYTHING. Thank you for the big hugs and snacks you used to supply me. Those jerks who stopped you from selling those snacks and who sent you to the portables.. man how do they deal with theirselves? Remember, I gotcho back! Mr. T Manno (AP U.S. History) - I'm proud to be an American. Engaging me in all of those debates made me more belligerent. That's a good thing though because I have more confidence when I speak up in formal gatherings or just in class. You're a pun-a-thon, but I'm grateful that I can claim that I was once a "Manno's kid." Mr. Dell Martin (AP Eng) - I've learned to embrace the "breast of life." Mr. Siltanen (AP Gov) - You have the biggest tolerance ever. Teaching only Seniors, you truly understand us and our needs. I am grateful for that. Mr. Friedman aka GCF (PreCalc) - "smack that all on the floor" "I have woman problems!" Dr. Griffith (AP Environmental Science) - Your passion for the environment has influenced me greatly. STU - You too! Lastly, Mr. Allen Nakamura (aka Rainbow Butter) (Leadership all 4 years + 5th period aiding) - aka father of leadership. Most memorable/loved/gossipy teacher at Alameda High School. I have waay too much to say about this man, so I'm going to cut this off.
Five seconds ago I realized how unneccesary drama in high school is. Whatever grudges I held up until 5 seconds ago is released from my system as poop digests. Last week, I had that mentality that we only have 2 months anyway so tell people off when they deserve it. Now that i'm done doing that, it's Time to also remember to not forget the good memories and despite how big people's egos are.. I figured that I am much happier if I let the happy days override the awkward tension. Let the happy days ring! (I'll still tell people off if they deserve it though, so don't confuse this segment as my degression to vulnerability)
MY UNDERCLASSMEN! (yes, that means you too juniors) I believe my influence is crucial. Just remember.. Everytime I give you advice, act goofy around you or just doing whatever else I do, I leave a part of myself in you.. I leave my legacy through you all. Yes, feel honored.
Leadership underclassmen - I probably show more love and care to you stinkers the most. When I was an underclassmen, I always wanted the Seniors of leadership to give me some attention and guidance, so I give mine to you. Ever since election time, I am reminded that they do look for my guidance and that whatever advice I give to them is crucial. Bondage.. preach it! I have high hopes for you carrying out 2007's legacy as well as making your own.
AHS 2007 SENIORS!!! Holla atcha girrrrll! From our bondage time at Senior Banquet to graduation, definitely enjoy each other's company. We may get ticked off at almost everything nowadays, but remember we ONLY have 40 (and decreasing) days together! I think we're done with being ticked off. Let's open the gateway to 40 happy days!
So fellow Seniors, I say drop your swords, drop your facades, drop your pants (optional) and join me in making the most out of our last two months of high school together!
