Have your ever thought about all those notes that classmates wrote in your last High School yearbook.
“To a great – stay fun – good luck – god bless – stay in touch – great at this or that – will miss you and on and on”.
Just who were you back then and what have you become now. What is your legacy?
The other day I was looking through some old pictures and picked up that last yearbook.
I saw so many faces of people and started to wonder what the?
I started remembering faces and even got some names right before seeing them.
I reflected on good times and even some as we say it now challenging times.
Can I remember what I was taught? Some of it. But, now I believe the biggest lesson was just to challenge yourself to learn. And most of all just to adapt.
I never really thought that I was very good at math and now I use it everyday. It appears that I have actually learned how to maneuver around in it, the basics that is.
Seriously, who was that person that everyone had a nice or complimentary thing to say about?
Not many of my teachers wrote in that yearbook and I think that if they had the things they might have said if they were truthful might have been “who is this person and what is his future going to be”?
I certainly did not know what that future would hold either.
I really think that things have turned out well. I’m not an electrical engineer and
I don’t know if I would like to have continued to be great – stay fun – or whatever.
What happens is we make many decisions and in the end hope that they are the right ones. And then we learn to live with the choices we have made in any case.
Back then it was always “WHAT IF”
Now, many years later it is, well you can try to answer that for yourself can’t you.
