Implications of being in a classmate reunion - Gisela Algaze
When you finish school, you only wish you would not loose touch your best friends. However, new duties (e.g.: University, work) appear in our life and time to meet our friends from school is less than ever. Thanks that our school organizes every 2 years a classmate reunion I am able to catch on them time to time. It is an idea that I really take to.
I participated in the last reunion. It really was an interesting experience because we met again after 2 years without seeing each other; the meeting brought plenty of surprises. Many of my friends were married, some of them had kids and others were divorced. I came down to my friends’ lives changed a lot and I was still the only one that continued with the same one. I am a single woman with no kids, who is working every day in the same company for about 10 years; I can say that I can get by, but I am not millionaire. To be honest, I was a little sad by putting my life together with the others.
However, I came across to the most beautiful girl in the school of that time. She did the reunion living up. She is 1 or 2 years younger than me and I was surprised that she looked like a woman of 40. I felt a little more comfortable by watching that my life was not so bad! I can say that I felt that I get thought something.
Thanks Gisela for sharing your "reunion feelings"!
