slo’s THURSDAY 5/19 poll - Senior In High School

[slo]

When were you a Senior in high school?
Please post what year after you vote



For Me…..1989 to be exact.
There are many things in my life that seem like yesterday, but not this, it does feel like it’s been 33 years ago.

*Inspiration for today’s poll is that it’s my DD18’s Senior Night before her softball game tonight. I’m starting to feel very emotional - these high school years have gone by way to fast. One minute she was a freshman stressing about making the team (her high school is for 3 towns, a zillion kids and you have to be the best of the best to make these teams) to now being a 4 year varsity athlete to be honored tonight as 1 of 7 seniors (the majority of our starting lineup is graduating). I keep telling myself not to cry tonight, but since I had tears on other Senior Nights for past seniors, now that it’s my kid, I think the tears are inevitable.

1983!!! It seems like a hundred years ago - only needed 1/2 credit my senior year so I only went half days and worked - wished I could have taken Summer course and been done previous year.

You cry all you want ! What a great job you did and what an awesome person your DD is !! It always amazes me how fast time flies by - it seems like we just get them in school and next thing you know they are off to college in a blink of an eye !

Enjoy the next few days - they will be previous

I graduated in the mid 90s. It feels like 100 years ago. Kids are so different now. Parents are different. Everyone is so much softer now.

My daughter is graduating after 4 years of University next Thursday. She will be a registered nurse after she takes the government test. Than no more school for anyone in the house after that.

1987 - does not seem it was that long ago

I graduated in 1979. My most lasting memory was the BLIZZARD of 79, which meant 5 snow days over 2 weeks, which meant one full extra week of school which meant instead of graduating on my birthday, I graduated one week later. I never looked back!!I

Class of 1992!

Daughter will be the class of 2026. I was laughing with her the other day as her 8th grade graduation and festivities are such a big deal compared to mine in the 80’s. (Granted, this is a catholic K-8 school, so it’s a little more hyped up because it’s a bigger change than your average public school.) I told her what my mom told me when she asked if she was getting a big graduation present for finishing middle school. No, this is expected. I’ll take you for ice cream. (although I am getting her the new Harry Styles CD, I’m not totally heartless)

I graduated HS in the 80’s and was working at Disneyland. I was there yesterday and it was fun to see the HS and college grads celebrating with friends and family! Many of them were wearing their mortar boards.

All of my kids have graduated HS and only one left to graduate college - in 2023. Praise the lord!
