Jeff's Story
Does anyone even use this app anymore?
Back on here after a long very necessary break. Those who know me, know I didn't graduate Mira Loma, but would have graduated Ponderosa in Shingle Springs in 1985. I didn't graduate as I was suffering a severe mental illness(Agoraphobia) back then, that I am still struggling with, that prevented me from doing presentations or being around large groups of people. I finally got my High School Diploma last year with a charter school, and surprisingly, they didn't require most of the stuff required today. So yeah, diploma at 56, not something many would brag about, but in my situation, it was a very difficult achievement. So High School started for me at La Sierra for my Freshman and Sophomore years from 81-83, and then Mira Loma for my Junior year from 83-84, and then to Ponderosa for my Senior year from 84...Expand for more
-85. Moving around like this was hell, so I couldn't maintain any friendships, let alone a girlfriend. I'm really sorry to those of you I was seeing, and had to bail. Also, due to the Agoraphobia, I was very shy and definitely camera shy, so I never got my picture in the yearbooks. I may have a cameo in one or two. A lot thought I was conceited, but no, sadly it was mental illness. This is all part of living in group homes and foster homes. I'll add more over the next few days.
I don't have a (then) photo of me, maybe one of you can help with that.
EDIT: My photo from La Sierra is on page 29 of the 1983 yearbook. I know I have a similar cameo in the 83-84 yearbook for Mira Loma, and another in the 84-85 Ponderosa yearbook. If anyone can help me get those straight, I'd appreciate it.
I'm hoping to reunite with at least a few of my old friends.
