Vincent's Story
Life
Peace be unto you all,
I have changed my name back to my birth name Jah-Ra'El Victor (long Story). I do not think that you will ever find me back in Kentucky home of the good ole' boy system and overt racism, ignorant so-called African American Black people, and disenfranchised people color.
I am in graduate school finishing my doctorate degree. I am out in the mid-west, awaiting my departure for the Eastern United States or I may go South. I am leaving the country for a period of time soon, so if you are trying to get in contact with me (ya better do it soon, SMILE). I miss all of my classmates, well female classmates and the high school culture. I came home and taught at CCHS, but they ran me out of Hopkinsville. Its all good, I had fun, made some money, and got my life started where I do not have to be subjected to their ignorance. As we used to say in HIGH School N-E-Ways halla atcha bois.
School
Wow they really want you to share some secrets on classmates.com! My biggest crush since 5th grade was Felicia Brown, although we only spoke in passing and our brothers Eric and Jay Jay were best friends, I just thought she may have been out of my league back then. One day I will be able to say "back then she didn't know me, now I'm hot she all on me!".
The teacher ...Expand for more
that inspired me most had to have been MR. SMITH. As a history and extraordinary social science teacher, who taught me the value of an education that was equal for all under any circumstance, Mr. Smith was awesome. Mr. Smith (that ol' bird) taught in such a way that all the students learned something, and for the first time I was inspired to read, to study, and to do well without feeling any prejudice.
I always wondered in college...What if my High school had dorms, then I would do it all over again? After working at Job Corps that dream eroded.
The best times in High School had to be Mrs. Wilkerson's Spanish class with Todd Grace, Edmund Mills, Desmond Winston, Chris Jones, Roy Matlock, Anthony-deep base tall black cat, Shanon-the cross country kid, Shaticka Jones, and some other chick...the spit and paper wads, chewing gum...the jokes, humor...it was off the chain... And Mrs. Felts male chorus, advanced choir and the field trips to "exotic locations" oh the drama and the freaky lil high school girls. The funniest moments had to be the trip to St. Louis and Erick Barner passing out after the shower scene in another females room, but running a close second was Travis Haskins and Eric Grubbs getting caught cheating on an exam by the two way mirror....dumb asses (SMILING).
