Reminiscing~~~~Unique Things Part 5

Kindegarnter 7th Grader 8th Grader Senior

Mark Twain Truman Middle School Central High

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are Seven plus Unique Things About Myself and others. I thought to share with you. Happy reading...I have others ideas about blogging as I was reminiscing this week.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. I have a unique mark or scar right between my eyes. I always imagined myself as an Indian girl from India. [I have some American Indian blood in me]. My mother told me how I got this mark between my eyes. It was a result from a rock thrown at me.

Actually it was two rocks. There is a scar on my left temple too. The mark between my eyes happen before the Kindegarnten picture was taken. [I was five in that photo.]

2. One Spring or summer... between 1970 - 72... I almost cut out one of my fingers. There are two fingers on my right hand that are almost the same length. [This might be a future blog to share.]

3. I was a patrol girl during my sixth grade year at Mark Twain. As I was on duty one day a student heard me talking. He said that he always thought that I could not talk. I was very shy in my early years.

4. I won a Wacky Award during my eighth grade year at Truman Middle School. I received an award for being "The Quietest Person"in my eight grade class. I still got that award around here somewhere along with my grade school report cards.

5. I became the 18th member in my family to graduate from Central High School. 15 brothers and two sisters graduated before me.

6. On the day that I graduated there was an article on the front page of the local newspaper with my parents and I. It was about our family's historical moment.

7. I was the only person in my senior class who did not miss a day of school in four years. I received an award for that. [There were 445 of us that received our diplomats.] Actually I missed a half day which was credited as a full day.

One of my sisters and I went to South Dakota to visit some cousins about our family history. [This might be a future blog too.] Also If any of you graduated from Central from the years 1956, 58, 59, 60, 62, 63, 66, 67, 69, 70, 72, 73, 76, 77, 78, 79, 81, and 1982, our mother saw you gradate too.

This concludes my reminiscing of my public school years. Yeah, I had many styles of clothing. I even had varies kinds of Afro's. One of my niece's saw the photos that I have of myself from my seventh grade year through my junior year in high school. My Afro appeared to grow each year. I was a senior in high school when I got my first perm...I did it for my senior picture. I have fun reminiscing.

Have A Good Friday!
