Realize That You Do Not Have to Impress Anyone Anymore

Back in high school, we all strived to make ourselves impressive to others. We wanted to fit in and belong, to be part of the crowd that everybody admired and envied. All high schools, back in the day and even now, have social "caste systems". That's just part of the dynamics of growing up.

The important thing to remember is that we are all full-fledged adults. There is no need to impress anyone.   There is no need to put on airs.  Be happy for those who accept you and ignore those who don't.  Five years ago about 5 classmates attended their first reunion. All survived and last word was that they all had a good time.

Bring Your Sense of Humor With You

Humor should definitely accompany you to the class reunion. That way, you won't allow yourself to take things too seriously.

Stop worrying about how people are going to perceive you. The chances are that most of the people there will probably have changed a lot. Learn to take it all in stride and even laugh about it.  There will be name tags for everyone (with font large enough to read!) So don’t worry about recognizing other people. Come to the reunion with a smile and accept others the same way you want to be accepted.

A pre-reunion “ice breaker” is tentatively scheduled for Friday evening , October 18^th at approximately 8 PM at Maroon’s on N. Centre St. Pottsville.
