I agree with ya BlastNBaja....

I too had to "buy my own" toys when I was young... Man.... let's seee... to start 10th grade it was.... well.... drop the one, carry the 5, .... 20 years ago!!!!! Holy crap.... I'm gettin' old in my age. But younger in my youth!

To all you youngin's out there ... Cherish what your given by your parents. Take good care of it. Show them the respect they deserve (I hate disrespectful kids!!!) for putting faith in you.... etc.etc. My pops had bikes for most of my family (me and 3 older sisters) since before I was born. He was the sole provider. And when my mom quit riding and my sisters were moved out he bought him and I matching bikes. Yamaha IT175s they were! Oh man... they were the hot item. Then.... he sold those two bikes (he couldn't ride anymore due to surgeries and other complications) and bought me my first real MX bike... a 1984 YZ250! WOW... I was the man!!! At age 15... I was zoomin. But I'll tell ya.... my pops was/is my hero. And for all those years I slaved away at that house... chore after chore... wondering if I could get out on the weekends to ride my bicycle/dirt bike.... those were the days!!!! *sniff* [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] *sniff* I think I'm going to read my "senior memories" in my year book now.... *sniff*[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] *sniff* And better yet.... all the girl's comments!!!

Good luck to all you young scholars!!!
I wish you the best. No matter how much you think edumacashun isn't needed.... it really helps out here in the cruel world!

 

Ah, high school. We had open campus lunch, it was the best. Now here at college pretty much everything is "open campus," and it doesn't seem so great.

I wanted a DS in high school, but couldn't afford one (they were all new back then) so I built a sandrail. I also had a '71 Chevy on 35" tires to drive, it was kind of a toy, so that was cool. I got a lot of looks with that big red pickup pulling that rail... mostly from the cops!

 

Sounds more like Trade School Not college? Not a bad thing just wondering what school you're going to?

 

I am going to Delta College. They have an Automotive Service program with a BRAND NEW building and shop. I am only going part time (but still getting 14 credits) and I am doing the some of the Automotive classes this semester then next semester I will do some of my core classes (business math, physc, so on)

 

I remember High school back in the Seventy's kind of, my senior year my schedule was

1 Government- it was fun we had fake trials

2 Wood shop-Making things out of wood is cool.

3 Metal Shop--I thought this was some kind music class--but it was fun any way- I made a screwdriver.

4 Auto Mechanics- This way I could take my POS car to school to work on instead of at home.

After school I worked at a restaurant and washed dishes, ate steak and prime rib every night

 

Mega diddos to blastnbaja and johnnyairtime. Highschool was a long time ago and anyone who can afford to have a computer, playtime, and a playtoy, is very fortunate and should be thankful. I had to wait until I was 25 to buy my first quad. That was just 8 months ago. Anyway, I now have my quad, a dirt bike, a street bike, a fast car, a lifted Samurai, and just bought my first big serious welder. Also, the Snap-on man likes me now too for some reason. Well you kids just have fun a school and enjoy every minute because when you slave away like the rest of us (3 days a week) it is a lot harder to find the playtime we need[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img].

10th grade, that's so 20 years ago. Who has time to play, I rode my DS last in May. Johnny J, my favorite girls comment is "Kevin, your a geek, DIE". Still funny after all these years.

 

Waynester, dude, I can't believe you remember your schedule from back then, I can't even remember mine from last year! Nahh, I didn't fail, I just turned 16. I guess I'm a little old for my grade, but a few of my friends have a liscense, too. Went and got my liscense on my birthday. Here you have to have a permit for 6 months before you get a liscense, or else you have to take some special test, and pay extra money, too. By the way, I payed (still paying) $200 a month for my DS. It'll be payed off next year.
