Sequoia Middle School

My 3 years here were a blur. The time between being 11 and 14 were rough. I probably went through the most change in my life.
In terms of Sequoia Middle School, the epitome of a public school, I learned a lot and took some good things out of this school.
I can’t really say much about this place since it’s been more than 8 years (I am a college graduate now). However, this place did have good resources. Additionally, in a good way, there were tough teachers.
The music teacher Ms. George was good. The history teacher Mr. Molina was intense, but you’ll learn a lot. I don’t know if these people are here anymore, but they were good teachers.
I remember pizza bread during breaks. I remember cheese bread and cheese zombies at lunch. I remember some good Round Table Pizza during lunch. Lunchtime was the best.
I didn’t play much sports, but everyone played basketball.
Just like a regular school, there were a good amount of fights. But they were «clean» fights if that means anything. You can’t really avoid fights at any school, I believe.
In the bathroom, where there were three urinals in a row, no one would use the middle one for some reason. Funny.
I turned out OK coming from this school. I went to College Park High School after and then went straight to UC Davis. I can’t say there’s a direct connection, but I felt I was well prepared for high school.
One big thing for me was that the place was pretty diverse. That’s always a good thing since it exposed me to a lot of things.
The only drawback I can think of is the parking and traffic after school, it can get nuts. Good thing I had a relative to lived closed by so we just walked home.
Oh middle school, good times.
