I have my prom picture still after 24 years. My mom saved some of my paper work and grade cards. I really like that. It lets me remember the good times I did have in school. I even saved the glass and napkin from prom. I saved all my poems I used to write in 7th grade. How about you?

My Mum still has all my school reports and certificates. She brings them out from time to time and we talk about them. It's quite fun. Brightest Blessings, my friend. x

Yes I have saved quite a bit from my school days. I have all my prom and homecoming pictures. I still have all my report cards. I even saved my band shirts that I had to wear under my marching band uniform. It is all packed up in a box. Saving things like this helps us remember those days and it's also a way to share our youth with our children, grandchildren and so on.

I have saved many things from my school days . Notes from friends , and boys . pictures , old notebooks , and programs , and papaers from the plays I was in . Once in awhile I will go through all them . I smile or cry , and wonder how time went by so fast .

I guess I miss some things from my past being that life was much simpler. And I do miss some of the friends I had. Life does seem to go by quickly when you look back. I'm starting to feel old-LOL

I no longer have any keepsakes from school, I did have one or two things but nothing of any great importance, I was just glad to get out of school to be honest with you!! But the keepsakes that I did have were lost when I had a house fire. I lost most of my material personal possessions in that fire, which upset me more than losing the actual house.

Yeah I was glad to get out of school too. I was happy to be free. Until I found out I would have to work hard the rest of my life-LOL I'm sorry about the fire. It would be hard to lose some things. Hugs.
