>1. Did You Go? ( why or why not) /What year?
Yeah I went...it was in 2010...
>
>2. Any hesitations/ anxieties about going?

Not at all. Most of us looked the same anyway and I haven't talked to most of them since I left HS.

>3. Did you have any specific goals you wanted to achieve when
>you went?

Not really. I just wanted to have a few brewskis, see some folks, and visit my parents. I have to have at least two reasons to head back to the Carolinas...

>4. Most surprising thing that happened at your reunion?
That I never got the picture I paid for...

>5. Any disappointments?
So there were 3 High Schools in the district at the time. Due to low turnout, they combined all three high schools for the reunion. To put it in perspective...there were close to 1400 students who graduated between the 3 HSs and only about 100 showed up. And most of the folks that showed up traveled to get back to Columbia. Hardly any of the locals participated.

And then there's what happened to the money? The venue only cost $400 and we only went to two places the entire weekend. It was $150 per person and all we got was that one meal at that venue. Where did the money go?

And the fact that I missed The Roots Picnic that year for this. The reunion as a whole was somewhat disappointing. Considering that I could have seen Public Enemy being backed by The Roots...in hindsight...I probably would have rather opted for that instead...

>6. Learned anything about yourself before/during/after your
>reunion?

That I was better off than most of the folks there. Considering that I graduated in the bottom half of my class back then.

>7. Anybody Blew up you didn't expect?
Nah. Other than me...everybody was where I expected them to be.

>8. Anybody fell off you didn't expect?
A lot of folks I expected there didn't show up. So yeah...there were a bunch...

>9. Were you where you wanted to be in life at the time of your
>reunion?
Absolutely...a few days before I left I went to a NBA Finals game with my squad in it (Celtics)...so yeah...I was where I wanted to be.

>10. Were you more motivated after your reunion?
Motivated? Nah...that was already there...

>11. High School Sweetheart? How did that turn out?
She wasn't there...
>
>12. BONUS: 15/20+ year reunion.... how was that?

Just dawned on me that this year would be my 15 year...odds are I'm not going though. I have other things planned that will take priority.
