Christopher's Story
Life
What's up Everyone. Well, I am still living in MD (9 years and counting) and working as an Electrical Engineer in the defense sector. I am happily married (May 2003), and we just welcomed our second child into the world. Her name is Lauren. We have a 3 year old son named Christian. Things with Life and work are great. I am blessed beyond belief, I hope everyone else is too. Peace.

School
As for my biggest crush......Wouldn't everyone like to know. LOL
The teachers that inspired me were: Idonia Owens(then Cannady), Windsor Wade and Negussie Tsadkan.
If I could do it all over I would in a heartbeat. High School was fun.
My craziest school memories are as follows in no particular order:
1) When a few of my friends (who will remain nameless to protect the guilty LOL)made up raffle tickets and sold them out on Monroe Avenue for lunch money each time their pockets ran low. I am sure their are some people still looking for their prizes till this day.
2) When we had a lock-in junior year and some folks in their infinite wisdom decided to drink. Some of them were not drinkers and it showed. Ultimately the most tense time of the night came when we all walked to the 7-11 and on the way a certain so...Expand for more
meone's mother stopped to pick us up. You should have seen the people trying to pop gum, candy or whatever they could get to cover the alcohol on their breath. A few refused to talk even as a certain someone's mom was asking us questions.
3) The tackle football games at lunchtime with the grease-monkey students from the MCC trade school next door.
4) African wrestling matches in extended class.
5)"Not being a slave to the system" Nick, Damian, Tonica and Tamasha know what I am talking about. LOL
6) The mini-riot downtown after the Rodney King verdict. Does anyone remember Oyster getting arrested after he was fighting downtown?
7) Lunches from Monroe Square.
8) Catching the bus or walking everywhere.
9) Gym at the Y.
10) Playing sports at other school because we didn't have teams.
11) Taking Regents course at School of the Arts because we didn't have the one's I wanted. LOL
12) When everyone thought it was cool to where Paco, Cross Colors, and Damaged Jeans.
College
