My 10 Year High School Reunion

I am not sure why I decided to go to my 10 year high school reunion. There probably were a lot of factors of why I wanted to go. However, if you had asked me if I needed any type of closure from high school...I would have said "no way!" I have some regrets and embarrassing moments from high school (who doesn't?), but I had some wonderful friends and some really good experiences too. I have to admit though, that going to the reunion was really therapeutic (for lack of a better word) for me. It was wonderful to see old friends that I had lost touch with, but it was also really nice to take measure of my life. Being back in my old school and around my old classmates, gave me a great mirror to see just how much I have changed in the past 10 years. For the most part, we change little by little, day by day, and we really don't notice the drastic changes that are taking place. It felt good to realize that I was really doing pretty well and was very happy with the way my life has turned out. I am glad I went....but as my good friend, Mike, said: It is great motivation to stay in touch with the people you really care about so that you never have to go again.
