1. It is HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION time … what was ...
The name of your high school: Mineola High School
School Mascot: Mustang
School Colors: Maroon & Gray (although they changed that by the time my kids attended to red & white)
Were you in the band, debate club, a cheerleader, play a sport, etc? I was in Concert Choir.
Did you have a graduation party? I honestly don't remember. It was most likely a small family gathering.
Wondering if I could talk anyone into posting their senior pic?
Please!!!!! Pretty Please!!!!! With a cherry on top!!!!! It would be fun!
2. When you were 18 – did you ever think about what you would be doing in your 40s and beyond? Never-40 was old and that was going to be a long time coming
Did life turn out as you thought it would? In some ways-yes.
Do you have the career you thought you would? Not what I originally had planned but I did go to school which was a basis for what I do now
Knowing what you know about your life today - if you could go back to high school, would you change your course of study? Probably not.
