Visitacion Valley Middle School

HARD TIMES MAN! Talking about growing up who knew you would learn half of the things you know in middle school. 6 & 7^th grade total square I mean talking about striving for a 4.0, I always ended up with a 3.99.
Back in the days after school there was always something for us to do, they had cooking classes, ceramics, spray painting and so on. For taking after school classes you get VIZ BUCKS! Then the end of the semester you can use them to buy candy or electronics seriously I tried to hussle those lime green viz bucks.
I learn how to be creative and just wing most of my projects, I had social studies 7^th grade and had to replicated an acient pottery, well… what do you know that semester I happen to have ceramic class for my elective im just going shape clay up into a water pot and make a stand for it. I totally kill 2 birds with one stone!
Book report due in a day and I needed to write a 3 page book report on it or do a presentation. WELL… Ill grab a Sweet Valley High book and just pretend im interviewing a valley girl for the high school News! YESSSSS! SCORE! A for final grade!
Great years I tell you, first everthing thing, first boy friend, first kiss, first heart break, first getting in touble for cutting school and first time making fake notes to why I was absent or late to school.
The teachers were all great. They were mostly young and always pushing their students to go for their dreams. Did you know our school had a MAC lab really back then MACs were top of the like computers not SF schools had them. Now thats pimpin!

One day some friends and I had a great idea. «Let’s break into the Beanery to get some food to eat», one said. «Yeah that would be cooooolz», another replied. Long story short, we all got community service time.
