Wangenheim Middle School

I met my wife here.
We were 8^th Grade pals, compared homework, said hi, signed each other’s yearbooks.
Our teachers were strict, rules were strict, 7^th Graders were called «Peagreeners» and 8^th Graders were called «Cabbageheads». We used lockers for the first time, we had 6 courses in 6 different classrooms with 6 different teachers. It became mandatory to take showers after PE Class, that was a big adjustment for all.
The commute to school was long, so we carpooled with other students, it was a grind logistically compared to elementary school. Back when I went, kids rode their bikes or walked. Today, everyone gets driven or walks. Food was better, they didn’t give a shit what you ate as long as you had correct change.
You hung out with cliques and groups of people. You belonged or you didn’t.
One thing never wavers, you were a «Wangenheim Wildcat».
Like the knowledge and wisdom you pick up from this school, that will never leave you.
That will stay with you until you die.
Like herpes.

should be 3.5 stars.

jr hi was an awkward time for me, and most guys i knew/​know.
big picture, God is workin His plan, and all ive done and seen and been trhough, has made me who i am… so its all good.
