Monica's Story

Hey there 76ers! I did not just write that... what was I on??? yeah okay, no...just wanted to know who remembers me...I knew a lot of people of all groups, houses(harvard house was my main, but I roamed)and such...So although I went to the 10 year reunion with Mario V. no one recognized me right off as an alumni, you all thought I was his date!!! Especially you Carlos Armenta, my childhood compadre..shocked ya huh? No longer the thom-boy in sweats...yeah I thought that lace,off the shoulder to the knee, black dress was an appropriate choice. Okay enough about me...Those I know and haven't kept in touch with, pardona me'!!, but did any of you make it to the 15th, 20th, 25th? And will there be a 30th? I haven't seen anything on the bulletin board or am I looking in the wrong place? Hey Steve Lucero I'm still attached to my "mary-janes" yes mannnnnnn a new pair!!!!Geez.. how you been? Okay don't leave me hangin' w/o a response making me feel as if I was just Mario's date and not an alumnist..lol, me worry? Nah, I know you all who passed my way...knows me well enough to realize...Imma just checkin in is all...been away too long. Boni Horta how is L.A. treatin' ya? I can hope other's remember me as an unusual, sweet, fun, athletic, involved and unpredictable living for now but planning for tomarrow kine-tita. I read worth wild bio's..interesting what people have done with the time given here. Reading it's my way of rejuvinating. No, I wasn't the wild-kine unless you think, as I do, being in the same english class with Steve L. was a WILD semester..which btw, moved location from a cl-room setting to the theatre lounge room..reading the works of Shakespear..well,no actually all agreed to forgo the lesson I looked forward to, whatever!!!Thanks Steve..easy A I guess. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a job, daily news paper, and yogurt to be able to deal with the day-to-day. Well, I came from Tucson, AZ. so I was ...Expand for more
never in a hurry to get out of Cali as I realize a lot of others were.. I love Cali and am spoiled by the West Coast.I have moved only a few times but always found myself in the heart of san Jo.. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Mario V., because He was, without knowing it, my best budd. My biggest surprise is how fast life can change, I mean I feel as if we just graduated...don't get it twisted, my life is full with so much to look back on and forward to, but the times I enjoyed most happened at I.H.S. Before the reality of life set in for good. My best friend would tell you I'm compassionate and sensitive, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as a b*tch. If I had a do over? I'd take that chance and realize crossing a line doesn't mean loosing a relationship if things didn't work out. I feared it would and I really cherised the relationship that I lost anyways.Oh and to communicate thoroughly especially to the one's who matter the most before they assume rejection. What about me surprised those at the reunion? That I cleaned up nice I suppose?I mean okay I looked different to all who knew me as the one with the fro in freshman yr. and havin a lot of "bad-hair" days. I wasn't into looking my best at school. My mom was my hero, she was the strongest, most kind, smart, ambitious, fun, tolerable of others while combating ignorance with kindness and a lot of 411..she was an avid reader. She needed to be informed on everything worth wild to her. She was into geneology(sp?) had to know who her people were and where they came from, so inspiring to me. See she beat Cancer and dealt w/diabetes, sustaining the pain of arthritis and fibromyalgae(sp?) never giving up or in to the illness, maybe a bit weaker but only physically, spiritually she was on hit. She passed away Dec 26th, 2008 from complications of Rh-Arthritis meds...I miss her but her love and 411 lives on in me..
