Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I am currently a business major at USC and I will be graduating in May. I just signed with Robinson's May to work at their corporate office as an executive trainee for their buyer position. I am really excited but also sad because I am really going to miss SC. I guess I was always the sappy one when it came to graduation. Some things never change. I would love to hear from you guys so e-mail me!

     
Marco BOLLINGER email   Posted 02/28/05

Yo Yo Yo Wassup everyone Marco is still around and kickin it SAMO Style! I'm currently working as a photographer for a high fashion company while pursuing my art on the side. I was trying to be a film-maker, but I seem to have misplaced my last two video cameras. I still love to dance and get busy in case any of the ladies from 97 wish they knew me a little better while in high school. Honestly, I was recently thinking about my favorite teacher from SAMO - Ms. Staley, I wonder what happened to her? If any fools or ladies are cold chilling in the SM, just party on down to Main St. and I'll most likely see you there (look for the guy doing "The Worm" in the middle of the dance floor, or else asking for volunteers for a Booty-Shaking Contest). Despite my friends all giving me a really hard time, they think I'm a great guy who's a lot of fun with a amazing sense of humor.

Caroline DWORIN email   Posted 03/09/06

Observation:
If I don't drive around the park,
I'm pretty sure to make my mark,
If I'm in bed each night by ten,
I may get back my looks again.
If I abstain from fun and such,
I'll probably amount to much;
But I shall stay the way I am,
Because I do not give a damn.
    -Dorothy Parker, NYC

Seneca Barrios GARCIA IV email Posted 04/09/02

I'm supposed to say a few words about myself, however the immediate four-letter adjectives that come to mind would most likely stifle the posting of this message. With that, I believe I am still on planet Earth, though some may dispute this. I am drawing nearer to the completion of Microsoft's Certified System Engineer certification, along with Leviton's Fibre-Optic/ CAT-5 E, 6, and CO-AXIAL Network Certifications. Sound's like fun huh... not really. My hope is ALL of my brothers, and sisters make it out of SAMO on time. What? You didn't know about may EXTENED family? Hehe... Tim, Brady, Bianca, Kale, Cheryl, and Sage are their names. Yes it's confusing at times, but do I care if you are confused? A large "hey what's up" to all the classmates who had the misfortune of dealing with me, and watching me walk the plank, if anyone was paying attention... My only hope is that the poor soul reading this is not looking for anything deep. So, I wish you all well, (CO '97) the best class, and may "the man" choke and die on his own words, or mine...

     
Pablo GONZALEZ email Los Angles, CA Posted 08/31/06

Right now I am working, studying, and waiting for my class reunion. And also hoping that people recognize me and would want to get in touch with me.
