ENDEAVORS.

Elementary School-
At P.S. 132, it was the start public schooling. After swithching from a private school, I did not know how I would go along with the changes. I came to P.S. 132, and entered the third grade. From the third grade to the fifth grade, I really didn't do a lot of things. I was mostly by myself. The only things that I experience was, one meeting my best friend Marcus Matthews of 10 years and graduating on to Junior High.

Junior High School-
After P.S. 132,
I went on to I.S. 59. I was kind of hesitate of going to this school due to the fact of all the negative things I heard about it. But when I got there, all the negative things I heard wasn't true. Grades 6th and 7th was good for me. But when I got to the 8th grade, I was ready to leave. That year we have gotten a new principle by the name of Dr. K'tori. He was the worst and meanest principle I ever had. The way he treated the students was horrible. One happy note I can say before I left for High School was that in the middle of the year, the principle of the 8th grade took me out my regular 8th grade class and put me in a S.P. class. That class was the third top 8th grade class in the school.

High School-
Finally I was on my way to High School. I did not know how I would handle change frome Junior High to High School. I did not know how different it would be. My first High School was
John Bowne High School. For the the first two years I did absolutey nothing. I did most of my time cutting class with those I thought were my friends. My grades were nothing but 50's and 55's and sometimes 45's. Those two years were the worst school years of my life. Srarting from my the third year I knew I had to change a couple of things. I stop cutting class and started to go to class and do my work. My grades then began to improve little by little. I did make out to meet a couple of decent students and teachers. I met a cool art teacher, to this day I still talk to and visit at times.
Starting my fourth year was cool. Due to the fact that I signed up for a Electronic/Computer Repair course at a trade school in Mahattan, I only took up four classes. Everything was great until I got myself involved in a confrontation with a A.P. in the school. I was on superintended suspension for one month, then transfered to Jamaica High School.
When I came to Jamaica High, it was very big. From the outside, it looked like a University. I really did not how I was going to do in this school. I mean starting in one school that you got use to going to, knowing almost practicly everybody, trying to go into a positive direction by attending a trade school, and then to start all over in a new school and loose all that you had. To this day, I still think about. But on a positive note, so far Jamaica has been treating me good. Some of the rules and regulations I don't understand, but inspite of it all
Jamaica High School is a pretty cool school. I have met some good teacher's like Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Smith, Mr. Borah,
Mr. Premisler, and Ms. Mayo. They are some fine teachers.

Post High-
As for my future, I will be attending a college. I'm not sure what college, nor
major(s) I want to fulfill. I have a lot of goals I would like to achieve. As in a career, I am thinking about going into the Electronic/Computer Engineering field. I also want to get into the musice business, playing and producing. Also I trying to get back into playing basketball. A lot of people miss me on the playground courts. People have said that if I would have stuck with basketball, it would have taken me very far in the future. Those are just a little of the things I would like to pursue maybe in college if the good Lord say so. With some of the good students I have met, I plan on to keeping in contact with them. You never know what go things may happen with them.
10 years from now, I can see myself married to a beautiful wife and having a family of my own. Having a great career. And most of all, just being happy with the things that I have accomplish.
