School I have been a student at many many schools, I can understand what it is like for military brats very well, but my pop wasn't by the time we began to uproot every couple or so years two of the schools I attended elementary are either no longer in existence, or seem that way out of the three I went to the first being Edison which still exists technically, but the building I used to know is gone and the new one is relocated on a different part of the grounds, the second is Culp Creek whos sister school down the road still exists and has taken over the burden of teaching the higher elementary grades(currently the old culp creek has become privatized I think it is some sort of christian school). Between the two was Harrison which is still in existence, but has little value to me. Onward to Lincoln junior high for a short spell "a very confusing place" then to a town I will not miss in the least with Westfir middle school as the beginning of a spiral down for me I couldn't go a week without a fight because if I started with one guy and made them look bad thier cousin would want to get involved a week later and so on and so fourth. We got the hell out of Oregon quick I spent a little time down in Kentucky at slaughters school wandered back west after a hot summer and settled down in Tacoma where I finished middle school at Kiethley(aahh the memories of spending an entire semester working on a birdhouse in shop class only to have the health department come in and condemn it).

Don't worry I am not a member some gun toting Idaho militia I rather find the idea of nazism distasteful and stupid. Well I had managed to skip long enough to take all that free time I had to change schools and continued at G.A.T.E.S. till all thier trusting fuzzy huggy feelings crrud when they adjusted thier policies started to make me ill and I told off the V.P. took myself a nice five month vacation and enrolled at Challenger to get down to the bussiness of graduating , with all that I still managed to graduate by my expected date just like the rest of the class of 1994 ain't that a b!+ch??? College I guess technical school counts even if it's "Job Corps" about a year after the Navy's failed attempt at taming me (another story) I started going into vocation training at job corps, the food sucked they don't really pay you anything "it's more like being on an allowance" anyone over the age of 18 is reduced to being supervised as if they are a child again once you sign up and I got so sick of hearing "Hotel California" but they trained me to be the best maintenance man which amounts to diddly all it is is fixing toilets, and kicking deabeats out for not paying rent I've been shot at, cursed at, had to cover for bosses too drunk or hungover to work. So I made a change about a while ago and started going back to school again, I decided at that point If I am going to deal with children I would rather deal with the real things than adults who had not reached full maturity even at 40. I like kids, I thought about te...Expand for more
