School Story:

I'm happy to say I can look back at my high school experience and cherish it. The good and the bad, I wouldn't change any of it because it led to who I am today. I can laugh and hold no hard feelings. I can look at pictures of smiling faces and remember what it was like to be a teenager. The overambitious energy, the dumb mistakes, the raging hormones, and my uniquely curious sense of style! We had little sense of real responsibility and yet were ready to take on the world.

I remember the craziness of the lunch room and me asking for everyone's left overs. I remember the extreme matched outfits, airbrushed t-shirts and 2 feet high hair styles. I remember being so upset we lost a volleyball game to South Vo Tech on Homecoming Day because half the team had to go get their hair and nails done. I remember a kid falling through the sky roof and breaking his neck on the fall down. I remember the cottage cheese in Mr. Szydowsky's mouth. I remember how we had the BEST drum line cadence in the city. I remember Ron King giving the best performance at the Lion in the Wiz. I remember being total goofballs behind stage and during rehearsals with the cast. I remember the many boyfriends I had, and how gross I was for making out with Jimbo in the hallways. I remember the awesome secret house parties I had while my Mum was away (she eventually told me she knew about all of them). I remember how much fun any school dance was, and everyone danced! I remember Mrs. Plowey, love her or hate her, she inspired me to be a performer and see beyond just Pittsburgh. I remember the feeling on being on stage or singing the national anthem. I remember many firsts.

Looking forward to sharing all these memories at the Reunion!!!!
