This weekend I'm attending my 20-year high school reunion. Boy does that make me feel old! I missed my ten-year, and I'm not sure how I feel about going to this one. I haven't kept in touch with many of my high school friends. I recently went to my 15-year college reunion, and, last year, I went to my ten-year graduate school reunion, and I had a blast at both. I keep in touch with all my college friends, and seeing everyone together was incredible.
High school is different for me. I spent most of my time swimming. I swam 5 to 8 hours a day and didn't do much of anything else. I missed most of the late-night parties since I had to get up so early (3:45 a.m.) for morning practice. Don't get me wrong, I had some great friends, but instead of being voted most popular or best dressed, I was voted most athletic.
Have you gone to your high school reunion? Were you glad you went? Was it worth going?
I have not gone to any of my high school reunions. I was a class A nerd and so incredibly self conscious and insecure that I'm afraid it would all come back. I'm a successful business woman now and I still shutter at the thought of going back to high school. People who say those were the best years of their life and want to go back are just plain nuts.

So many of the shy and insecure people in high school are the ones that are the most successful now. I think we all just come into our own at different times in our lives.
