I was the extreme nerd when I attended Tilden H.S; I didn't have many friends - I do remember, Tracey Cox and Mildred were my friend during the early years. Unfortunately, my first three years at Tilden were mostly unhappy and lonely years; however, in my Senior, I had three great friends - Angelia-Collette-Leroy - who made my final year the best. I will always remember their kindness.
