Facing your high school friends, enemies, rivals and your ultimate crush again. you are the topnotcher in your class when you were in high school and as years passed by things turned out not the way as you planned in your life. These people who often seated beside you during exams and copied everything from your test papers. And now these people are the ones who are all successful in life. meeting them again and ofcourse the discussion in these reunions would always be "how have you been?" are you ready to tell them the fate of life that happened to you? Are you also ready to face all of these people if you are no longer the hottest among all of them because you gained so much weight? whatever happened to me, I am ready to face them all again because the purpose of these reunions are to bring back the old times and cherish those moments. and a lot more. so the question is... Are you ready?

sad to say i'm not ready, emotionally and financially. i knew some of my high school friends and classmates have already a family of their own and just recently we had our alumni homecoming last june and unfortunately i wasn't there. maybe because i'm afraid of meeting them successful with their respective careers as professionals and yet as for me, well, i don't know, (maybe because i wasn't able to go to college). well, bottomline i regret the day i had to stop schooling and work early...so there....

i agree with you . after graduation ,i joined a top 5oo company in a seaside city. i quited it afetr 1 year and joined a consultant corp. in a large city and have to start my career from zero .it is tough not ony because the salary , but the talk bewteen my school mates . i was defined as a success in collage but it seems i am not that good . i know , i am kind of vanity but i can handle the pressure.

Hi, Since I graduated from my senior high school,no reunion yet till now. I really hope I can attend my school reunion one day. I wish to meet up with all my old school mates. Lot of them have their own family with kids and some of them are abroad. So only once a year,they will go back to my hometown. Like I myself, I was in abroad now and I will only back to my hometown once a year. I still do catch up with some old school mates,not all of them. With the technology advanced,having an internet has definitely makes our life easier. I can simply chat with my friends through Msn or facebook. I actually get to find back some old school mates through facebook. Happy to see them back again. I do meet up with some old mates,have a small gathering when I go back to my hometown. Some may have change alot ,but some are still remain the same old pattern. Reunion will definitely bring back to old memories we do have in our school days. I definitely miss that Special Moments alot.

It would really be great to attend such reunion. I have received a couple of notices from my classmates on such events. Sad to note, I have not attended any yet. Most of the time, I am on travel and out of town. I sure do hope that later on I will be able to attend. As you have said, it would be great to see all friends, teachers and know how they have been...

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think it will be a good choice for the old classmates to get together. But for me, I think I will not take part in the reunion. As you see, I think I have not get me a good status. So in my own opinion, I think I will appear in front of my classmates if I am in so poor situation. I just want to have a better status to be taken on before them.

hello my co mylot member!, you asked about if I am ready for our high school reunion? my batch mates are having plans of having it early next year. Actually I am very enthusiast of replying that I am coming, not until I learnt about the registration. It is not Reasonable. It is very dear. Making it in a place, far from place where we graduated. Actually it will be Out-of-town., my question is..can't we have reunions having a reasonable registration? or maybe the venue should be in the place of origin? from where we graduated? I just shrugged my shoulders. Hope they will enjoy our batch reunion.

I've been to two high school reunions. The first one I enjoyed because it was glamorous. A very nice hotel, only ten years had passed where in a way we were still kids. Now the 20 year reunion was something else. Everyone had gained weight. Didn't look so happy anymore. I was a happy camper because I had lost weight since the last reunion. I left early to enjoy the hotel room with my husband...lol

I do not see any reason for anybody not to attend high school reunions. I have been attending ours every year since we celebrated our 25th year in 2006. From the "more hair, less weight" appearance to a "less hair, more weight" mature look. As expected, everyone would be asking what they are into now but discussions are usually concentrated more on what you did during your high school days... classroom naughty activities, making fun of teachers, old flings and secrets, etc. The truth is, nobobody cares. You are just there to enjoy each one's company regardless of your present status in life. The more important thing though is this: you'll have more connections in the business and other sectors in the society as there will always be successful members of your class who will be attending. I am sure that as former classmates, they are able and willing to help out any classmate in need. Don't worry about your looks or your social standing, just attend and enjoy!
