I am having lunch today with an old friend from my high school days. Well she is not really "old", because if she is old than that makes me old as well. And I do not feel very old, at least not today.
When we were in our teens, in high school I always admired this friend of mine. She was attractive, smart and popular. She was on the student council and was on the "annual committee" creating the yearly annual. She was in my typing class in Grade 9 when we first met. A speed typist she was, in fact she aced all the classes she was in. Unlike myself who barely passed Shorthand, as I told my teacher that it looked like "chicken scratch" and then the same teacher failed me in typing. Who fails typing? If I remember correctly she took a lot of business classes as she dreamed of working in an office somewhere. That was, unless she married someone first. Mr Starr was the Business instructor and she was his star pupil.
After high school, she got married and I moved away. Over the years we have run into each other here and there. And chatted "on line" a bit. It will be interesting to see how our lives have changed through the years.
Are we living our lives as we thought we would when we were teenagers? I am sure things have turned out differently than we had planned and hoped as it does for everyone.
