2009: My 10th grade year, i was in Mr. Banks class for homeroom. I only had 2 bestfriends then, Kira Newsom and Eboni Barksdale. The best movie I saw that year was 'I Can Do Bad All By Myself'. Everybody was into big purses and mow hawks. It was so crazy. I remember last year because of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) trip to Florida. We had so much fun on the beach and at the Math competition and then, Gucci vs. LiL Wayne was all they listened to so we had a party almost every night. Also, history was made this year, Obama was inargaurated into the white house. He became our 44th president.
2008: I loved my 9th grde year. I didn't have to go to a class for 2 whole periods because we had a gym session. It was so fun just running around, dancing and hanging out early in the morning. I remember that year because I had 3 people that I really called my friend: Kira Newsom (again), Tabitha Flournoy, and Ashley Smith. At one point, we did practically everything together. I remember going to see my future husband john Cena in his first acting role as a marine in his own movie, 'John Cena the Marine'. I remember everyone having those red and black Dickies back packs.That year is unfogetable because of the NSBE trip also. I went for free because my friends Sherman and Ariel and I won a science fair that got us the money. We ate good every night.
2007: Well, we're going back a little bit futher. 8th grade was something else. My first year here at M.A.S.E. and boy was everything different. In the morning after breakfast, we had to go in the auditorium and read books. That was when I met my bestfriends Kira newsom, Tabitha Flournoy, and Ashley Smith. We didn't click right off back though. We actually didn't like each other but of coarse we got over ourselves. We took a trip that year to see 'The World Trade Center'. It was a movie about 9/11 and planes crashing into the Twin Towers. back then, it was all about love songs. My friends and I loved this group called Cherish and all the boys were getting into Chris Brown's style. That's when boys started wearing skinny legs with the girls. I remember that year the most by the 8th grade prom. It was the end of Junior High and we were going to be in high school!!! Can you say excited?
2006: Mrs. Visor was my homeroom teacher. She was also my math teacher that year. She was quit a character. That year I was suprisingly pretty cool with everybody. I din't have any real problems until the end of the year. Madea was a big hit as far as movies go because Tyler Perry was hillarius. That was what we called comedy. My dance team and I dance off of the Ciara CD and that was basically where our music came from back then. I think the Jordan backpacks were the style and forces. If you didn't have forces, you had no friends. Now to the most memorable part of the year. I got into my first school fight. It was akward but I mean I got tired of people trying me because I was so little. Well, they after that day.
2005: I had Mrs. Visor once again as a homeroom teacher. she was also my reading teacher that year and my sister's math teacher. then I was so shy I only had one friend: Crystal Warren. We were both into scary movies so when 'Boogie Man' came out, we rushed to the theatre. T-Pain was a hit along with Ying Yang Twins then because they had the oerfect mix of dancing music. "I'm Sprung' by T-Pain had the Ying Yang Twins though. I remember that year because I had a head injury at school and got amnesia. I was s afraid and it was so crazy. Everybody was all in my face asking me if I remembered them and just making feel uncomfortable. Also, that was a devastating year for the victims of Hurricane Ktrina. It was sad especially since my little brother and little sister's father was living in New Orleans at the time. I'm glad he made it for their sake.
2004: Oh my gosh...I had Mrs. Sally Meyers as a teacher and she was ythe worst thing to happen to mankind. This lady harrassed me up until the last moment in her class. When I did something positive, she would try to discredit me by making me feel bad about my accomplishment or pointing out a useless mistake. When I won the oratorical contest, she just had to make it school wide known I was late getting to the bus. I was 10, did they really expect me to wake myself up? Anyways, I had a best friend that help me through that and she was Dinesha Jones. She was the reason why I didn't push Mrs. Meyers off a cliff.Speaking of her,when I went to her houde, we loved to listen to Usher. his CD was new then and we could just pick a song for the mood and lay on her bed for hours. Also, the news of that year was how did Bush win over Kerry. Well, how did he 'steal' the election.
2003: My memories are getting vaguer and vaguer as I go down but I'm going to see if I can do this. I came to Memphis hat year because of the war and my father lived here. I started going to Hanley Elementary and I was in Mrs. Withers' class. I met Dinesha when I was being picked on for the clothes I wore. She was the only one with a nice word to say to me. I also remember the movie'Radio' because I compared myself to him on numerous occassions when I was being left out or made fun of for being different. I joined the ballet that year and I realized I had a gift for spaking. The ballet recital was Cinderella and I killed it. I mastered my leap in that recital. I felt so good.
2002: WoW!!! I'm really losing memory here. I don'treally rememner much. I was in Pennsylvania I think. We were in a communiy. I remember having one television that all the kids shared. I liked the shows that the boys watched especially wrestling so I was always an out sider to every one else. I saw 'Lilo and Stitch' for the first time and Disney channel all together. I remember a show called 'Braceface'. We didn't listen to anytrhing but Old Skool music alot because my mom never was into hip hop. I remeber going to school with alot of white people and I don't remember much else.
2001: This is way back in the past. This year revolved around around John Cena coming to World Wrestling Entertainment WWE. I was so excited. I had never seen the energy, the skills, nor the stamina he displayed. I was so amazed watching him fight for the first time. I washooked after that dark, crowded April night. I immediately became a fan and joined online when I got the cahence. I can't even imagine wrestling without him now. The only other thing that I can say took my focus was 9/11. My dad disappeared that day and I never cried about it. I never gave up hope that he would come home. I prayed every night for years and I'm glad God heard me because I got my dad back on Christmas Day 2006 in the 8th grade. I shed my first tear that morning. I remeber those two things most. I was a friendless littl egirl with nothing but time.
2000: Now to the year I never thought I would get to. I had a nanny named Ms. Putnam until I moved in with my Aunt Lisa for a while. She had a daughter named Trevona and we spent days playing and riding our bikes and eating all the junk food we wanted. Then one day, my mom picked me up. I had a step father and my mom had a house. Her new husband was a pastor so gospel was all I heard at that time. I don't remember ever going anywhere but church. I don'tremeber being in school that year. We had alot of DVDs though. We watched alot of movies and I remember my mom actually getting up and cooking breakfast. We woke up to the smell of pancakes or rice and biscuits or something. I don't recall events that were memorable but I do know what I miss....I miss my mom.
