High School was a very interesting experience for me. I went to two different schools; Oakland School for the Arts (OSA), and Oakland Technical High School. I would consider my high school days sort of like a soup opera there was, fun, excitement, drama, tragedy, sadness, and suspense. But overall, my whole high school experience really taught me a lot about life and also help me to become the man I am today. I started at OSA my 9th and 10th grade years in the acting emphasis. The School was very diverse but everyone was so close to one another. There were so many talented students there actors/actresses, dancers, singers, literary writers, arts managers, as well as visual artist, and the great thing about the school was that they gave you chances to showcase your talents as well. While I was there I performed in a few shows such as; 'You’re a good man Charlie Brown', a 1920's Vaudeville, 'The Colored Museum', and I also worked as sound crew, working the sound system for the shows, as well as set crew and building the sets for performances. But at this time I was a big football fan, and I had big dreams of making it to the NFL so I transferred to Oakland Tech. Oakland Tech was a very good school, but the thing was I knew a lot of people that went there so as I started school it was hard for me to focus and it showed in my grades. My 11th grade year was the first year I played high school football so I wasn't as good as I wanted to be so I used that year to become better, and try to work on my grades. My 12th grade year I was starting wide receiver and I actually lead the league in receiving yards. When it came to the end of the season and trying to get a scholarship I couldn't get it because my grades were bad. So even though I didn't get the scholarship I wanted, as I went through high school I still worked on another passion I had, it was music. Music has always been in my family and I will keep it going until my son one day can follow in my footsteps and continue where I leave off.
I can very much relate to what Jermemy High school days were like of High school also made me the man that I am today and how there was a lot drama and excitement. Also how my experience has taught a lot about life. I really like this post it informed me about who Jeremy really is and what he has experienced in his High school days.
