I never really got into Homecoming when I was in high school. Of course, I hated high school, so that's not a surprise. It's also in my nature to move forward, I don't tend towards nostalgia or sentimentality. It's just not how I'm wired.
Since teaching though, I've started to realize that Homecoming isn't really for the current students, it's for the alumni and the staff. It's interesting to see my former students. Some of my sweet little boys have turned into six foot five mohawk sporting thugs. Still sweet though. Some of my girls are starting families, some of them bring their kids. It's really weird too, because since I've been teaching 10 years now some of my first class of seniors are getting close to 30. They really aren't too young to be starting families.
I suppose all this could make me feel old, but it's just the passage of time.
Go Cougars!
