It kinda got me depressed.
But anyways who else is on MySpace? I havent figured out how to set up the cool backgrounds yet and all that so maybe I could get some pointers :D .
I was trying to figure out a way to find YorkieTalkers on there and I havent figured it out yet. I want to find more people, its kinda fun and addicting. I have found that MySpace severly slows up my computer though, anyone else have that problem?
| I just now read through this all the way. I guess I missed it through all of the myspace excitement. I think some people just want to look back and kind of have a reunion and make sure some people from high school are doing alright. Our class only had 100 people in it and 2 of them had died in car accidents before graduation. I think we're a close class from going through that and being from such a small community.
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! |
