None of us are the same as we were in high school, twenty years changes everyone. For me it's the past that has helped shape us for this future. Good, bad, and indifferent; school is a stepping stone to growth. ( Even if we choose to go back to school later in life.) We all shared the same time at a place where we were all lost and confused...searching for the right things to wear, say and do...trying to fit in with what at the time we thought were the right people. Even on the days when you thought it was all together...life throws curve balls at teenagers and that's just all part of the game of life. Nearing 40 I still have to remember to duck now and then. I guess my heart just keeps going back to the fact; that we all spent more hours together in the first 12 years of our lives than we did with some family members. Sure we didn't know every person equally or even maybe get along as well as we should have. Isn't that the way families are anyway. I don't have a lot of specific party or event memories to share, however my mind does have lots of moments. We all had to go to school and we did it together. Good days, bad days, happy days, sad days, we shared thousands of moments together. Whether I had best friends, buddies, acquaintances, or just familiar faces around me. That makes it memorable for me now. That a time in our lives, when nothing really made sense and everything was bigger in our minds than in reality, we walked the halls and grounds together and most of us are still here learning, growing, and trying to find our way in this great big world. It's a reunion: the coming together of a group of people that shared experiences in the past for a set amount of time. I'm just really looking forward to once again walking past familiar faces and hopefully feeling at home.
