A Teacher’s Journal: A Teacher Learns

Taken on December 1989, a picture of young people celebrating youth to the fullest.
I, together with the other (then) third year high school, section A of the Saint Stephen’s Academy (Laur, Nueva Ecija), had our picture taken with our class adviser Mrs. Noli Camaya. It was our Christmas Party.
After 21 long years, here we are now… or what is left of us.
Most of our friends in the first picture are abroad now, either working there or migrated and settled there for good. Some live in the provinces and had a very slim chance of joining us in this picture. Some tried to come but didn’t make it. And a few simply ignored our invitation to join us in this get together
So what’s left is a small group of middle aged people trying to recapture the beauty of youth by talking about ‘THOSE DAYS’, the parties, the picnics, the love letters, the fight over boys and over girls.. THOSE really were the DAYS..
But there is one thing I learned about these two pictures…
Our minds may fail to remember but our hearts never forget
I may not be able to recall some names in the old picture, but deep in my heart I know we shared something in the past: something we laughed about, something we fought or cried about and… maybe something that made us WHAT WE ARE NOW…
Happy Weekend everyone!

That was a touching post. My high school years are memorable, too, but I'm having a hard time locating all my high school friends. I wish our batch can have a get-together, too.

Thats a good picture memory mommy kimmy. Good thing you have that still in your posession
This is a poignant post, one that is so full of beautiful memories shared together by your batch of schoolmates. It's nice to remember the past and reminisce on the good ol' days when the weather were balmier, the songs were livelier and the feelings were more sublime. But we have to move on and continue with our lives to the future. No use crying over spilt milk from past memories. They served us well in their time in the past. Thanks for the nostalgic post. God bless you all always.
I've only met my high school friends in face book…
that is great!!
congrats that you met your high school classmates again. Me, I don't know when will I see them again. hayz, I miss them. Thanks for sharing your memories!
