High school was a good time of my life. I must admit , I was not the greatest of students, and it seemed that my peers were more important than the subjects that I was learning. Junior high school, was where several elementary schools combine their students and they all were sent to the same junior high school. Some new friends were developed new friendships began. The junior high school was only two years of my life.. High school was four years and this was when I really began to show my extrovert and develop friendships, Some of which still Remain to this day. I guess the first big happening was learning to drive and having my dad get me my first car in 1936 Chevrolet with two doors and a rumble seat. I remembered double dating and going to the drive-in movie with two good friends, sitting in the rumble seat which you can say was quite revealing make out sessions for them, but it was always fun. I remember the guys conjugating on the side road next to the school, comparing their cars almost on the daily basis. There was one guy by the name of Joe German who was a motorcycle freak similar to Fonzi in the TV series. My car and sports was a good part of my life. I was on both the basketball team and the baseball team. I remember playing Junior varsity basketball and one day being called up by our coach Harold Hall joined the varsity team however, most of my varsity years were spent sitting on the bench and it was just occasionally that I would get in to a game when we were tons of points ahead of the other team and our star player, Harry Manners, was taken out of the game. I remember the times I would be sitting on the bench and the crowd would begin to shout” We want Vito we want Vito” Perhaps it was because I was the only person on the team that would dribble the ball down to the corner and throw a hook shot which occasionally made contact with the basket, What a thrill. Friday night was basketball night and it was inevitable that after the game many of the kids would head for Shores For hamburgers and pop But many would end up at my house where my mother would be baking pizza for the gang. I remember my dad sitting in his usual seat at the head of the table with his bottle of Reingold beer With as many as eight or 10 of my friends sitting around the table or in the living room, waiting for another pizza to come through the kitchen door into the dining room. THOSE were the days. Now, As far as studies were concerned, I was perhaps a C+ at the very best. Nearing graduation there was a possibility that I would have to attend summer school for English and may not graduate with my peers, but rather in August after I finish repeating English fourth year. I clearly remember four of my friends, taking me into their hands and telling me that they would not let this happen, We were all gonna graduate at the same time. They sat me down and drilled and drilled and drilled differences between nouns pronouns prepositions into my head, And yes, it worked. Thanks for those friends.
I think back to those days now and compare myself to who we have now leading this country. We have a person that I must say, has very little knowledge of anything, Has many failings, speaks like a seven-year-old, Is a convicted felon and has even bankrupt several casinos how can anyone possibly bankrupt a casino? We all know the house always wins. Just think even with my little failing (Not literally) Compared to him, I could have been president of the. United States.
