I know this kid! I was in this class. His name is Justin Gayness (yes that’s his real name idk if I spelled it correctly lol) and he’s married and has a baby now. From the last time I saw him. His wife and he were in the same Lámase class when I was pregnant with my son 😭😭😭
Omg i remember. I was in I wasn't mr. Evans class on September 11th so I remember this whole week the day of September 11th we were reading Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and I got pulled out of school shortly afterwards this was an insane week for me
I was in 6th grade during this time. It definitely was a time of innocence, but September 11th would change everything. I loved my middle school experience, it was far better than high school to me. It's hard to believe I am turning 35 this year. Those were the good ole days!
Yea, I hated high school because rap started to become popular and I felt a cultural change in the air that I was not ready for. I felt like people were putting a fake personal. High school just was terrible, even though I was somewhat popular, I hated my peers. I feel like I'm in a better place than I could ever imagine now.
6:28 I’m the one with the white zip up and curly pony tail! It was so fun to watch and so many faces I remember, thanks for posting! Those were the good days ☺️
I was in this class too! I couldn’t find me but I honestly don’t remember if I went on this trip! But I was in Mrs Briggs class in 2001 and Mr. Olivas.
Thank you Ryan Briggs for uploading all this amazing videos. The past is a story we definately ourselves. The 90s and 2000s were the good old days, simple times without phones, social media and living in a amazing bubble with wonderful people. These kids will around the same age am today which is 30 I have not changed much. Even though I am from the UK the schools from your videos don't seem to different from those days. I still have my photos and videos from my time and kept in contact with many of my school friends too. Thank you for bringing such joy and nostalgia to us all especially in a time like this where we want to reflect and look back at things that are precious to us and these simple times are a reminder which we all wish we want to live in again. We all look forward to seeing more amazing content from you! Love from the UK 😊❤
I was born in 1997 being only 4 in 2001 I don’t remember much of anything🤷♂️ but I remember 2002-2003 deep down I knew times were very simple and beautiful .. then when I got older I started to question why everything was shifting so fast with technology so my childhood was a mix of 90s pop culture/ 2000s swag being on the cusp of Millleniels and Gen Z is frustrating
Same I’m 97’ I know exactly what you mean. This video feels so familiar yet feels like a lost memory I remember that early 2000’s culture faintly and that shift into the whole internet/social media crisis
I was 21 in 2001 a sophomore in college. That fall semester I took a break from school & worked was a substitute teacher.. I enjoyed it. Great video ryan...
@ 4:00 the kid with the glasses in the dark green hoodie dabbed lol, but I know that Michael Jackson invented the dab wen he danced in the 80s 💃🏻 🙅🏻♀️
Again, watching this is kinda watching the prequel to my generation. Like when teachers mention a past graduate from the 90s or 2000s, it's like a nice little reference or easter egg to a beloved character who's no longer one of the main characters anymore and that person has gone on to live their life while you've taken the torch.
tbh, if you upgraded the quality i couldn’t really tell the difference between 2001 and 2020. great footage and the students look so happy =D field trips are awesome.
@@roxyfoxyyy7 If you want your life to feel much longer I have a great solution Write a short summary of like 5 sentences what you did each day of your life with the dates. By doing this you will remember every single day without losing any thoughts Update: I have been doing this since 2016 and those 4 years from 2016 to 2020 felt like 10 years because of this. Plus it's nice to read what you did every day.
I was this age in 2001. Mid millennials. We're in our 30's now lol! We are the last generation who can remember what life before the internet was like.
Hmm, class of '09 here, the internet first came to the public in '90 and became very common by '95, now my folks didn't get it till the later part of the decade; however, I don't remember a time with out it.
Hard to find a kid that isn't smiling all the time. When I moved to the US, I was in 8th grade in a middle school, everything a new experience to me. As a newcomer novelty, I was popular that year, hanging out with all the other smiling kids. There was one girl that no one ever spoke to. There was an unspoken understanding that she was to be avoided. It's like she drained the light out of a room. She always looked very sad and lonely. She never spoke or smiled. She had this expression on her face like she was caught in a miserable trap she couldn't understand, couldn't get out of, and couldn't even scream. I avoided her, like the other kids did. But in retrospect, I understand that she was being abused at home in the most horrible ways. My heart hurts thinking of her, and thinking of how cruelly we all treated her by avoiding her. This is one of the couple things I regret most - avoiding her, because at the time I couldn't understand her. Just needed to share that.
I am 19 years old. And my father has my childhood video shootings recorded on sony camera. It was during 2007-2009 when I was 5 years old. And In all those videos I was just dancing and singing poems😂😂 Also our travel videos were there. Which are still in my father's pc.
Greetings from germany 😊 At this time i was 11 years old 😅 Now, it’s 11/2023, i‘m 33 years old and the first thing I notice in this video is that no one is looking at their smartphone, everyone is busy with each other ☺️ 6 1/2 years later the first iPhone came out and the world started to change.
I was in 8th grade in 2001. The beginning of 2001 was good but 2nd half was not good. Still brings back bad memories being let out of school early because of the attack. Seeing it on the little TV on the wall. It was an experience.
I was in the 7th grade in 2001 and my favorite subject was History... still is in fact :D . What was you all's fav subject at that age. Aside from lunch!
Omg i found me 😭 at 7:17 with the red sweater and glasses, biting her nails! Lmao. That was my little group of friends at the time. Salina Burgos I remember her. And at 2:28
Even though I went to middle school almost 20 years later, some middle schoolers still act like this energetic and crazy. Only downside is that some kids act like gangsters. 😒
I feel so nostalgic about something that didn’t happen to me, you wanna know why? I was 12 years old the day this video was filmed but you know where I was ? In Mexico, that country has 200 million citizens, almost like America & like many countries in South America and South Africa, white people are a big MINORITY, we have to build our own communities, cities, all gated and in-closed, with our own governments besides the one our country already has, obviously we are a 1% of the country, we had to go to private schools, and watching this makes me wonder how lonely I was growing up, I was crazy like all these kids and people asked why I behaved like that, other white kids learn to “behave” really young and not move, I was always different but now I know I wasn’t different, I was just NORMAL, like EVERYONE in this video, and I don’t blame America, at the end there’s more white countries like Canada and all the rest of Europe, even south Europe or east Europe that it’s “poor” but with crazy free children like me, like us, like the ones in the video, the question is, who allows this to happen in South America and South Africa ?? Countries have been giving asylum to white South Africans for the past 6 years, finally the world is admitting this is WRONG and I bet you it sums up for all the karma we are living now
Acá se nota la diferencia de la forma de ser de las generaciones anterios a las del 2000, estos vienen más exaltados y emocionados, los anteriores eran más tranquilos!
PYROGOD024 How did u even find the video? Did u see the thumbnail and recognize it? Lol im sitting here watching and im so curious if any of yall would ever see this video
I was born in 2003 so I never got to experience Middle School like this. In my middle school days students sexualized themselves with the way they dressed and behaved. Was absolutely disgusting
