Now if you're talking about people not going to college or moving out of a small town I know what you mean. My class could really have our reunion at the town Wal-Mart, I'd swear that half of our class works there. I joined the Navy and moved from a small town of 6,000 people in Illinois to San Diego. I am proud of what I've done and I'm making something of myself. I asked one of the people still in town why he stayed and never went to college (he WAS a smart guy, but I think his parent's divorce had a big part in it.) He just said that he likes the town because it's close to family, some people end up having kids or just like where they end up. He had also tried to get into the Navy but he had problems with his eyesight.
So I guess what I'm saying is to each his own. I had the same feelings you did because I graduated 6 years ago. Be proud of what you've accomplished. Sometimes I guess it takes longers for others to find themselves and their place in life. So I hope this helps you in not feeling bad about it! |
My graduating class had near 700 people in it. I think there are about 100 of them on myspace and many of them I dont even every remember going to school with( I thought I new everyones faces but I guess not). Others that I do remember look like they are still partying really hard and wasting thier life (IMO). Of course some people are doing well and I am very proud to see what they have done with themselves. It just loooks like the majority are still living life they are young and stupid and to me its sad because we are all about 25 years old. Its been 7 years since I graduated. I partied for about a year after high school and that was enough for me for a lifetime
I guess I grew up fast and now I am an old geezer
