My High School Reunion, A Very Special Weekend!
My 25th High School Reunion was a time for me to remember a good time in my life. Red Bank High School was a place that taught me about the lessons of books, the world and life. There are people there who I have very fond memories of and I was able to renew my friendship with them after these many years of separation.
One thing the reunion showed me is that there are people who liked me more than I thought back then. My self esteem can get the best of me at times and I don’t see how good of a person I am. Perhaps time and space can help us get a new perspective. I know I learned something new about myself and people who were my friends and others who I wasn’t good friends with.
Everyone who was there have new life experiences that have changed them since their teenage years, me included. When we came back together this weekend I was able to catch up with my friends then and make new friends too.
High school prepares you for the next steps in life whatever that might be. Many went to college, others enlisted into the military, a few went straight to work, others became family men and women, a few passed away before their time. Its all a part of the story of the class of 1988 or any other class in high school. Without those people and the common experience we shared I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
God blessed me in my days at Red Bank, I was reminded of this during this reunion weekend. It was also homecoming too and that added to the special time we had.
Thanks to all those who made it happen. You have my deep appreciation for helping me find out a little more about myself. Go Red Bank Lions.
