Time flies, certainly! We had our informal high school reunion yesterday at one of our batchmates’ s house in Quezon City. Though it was not the first time we had it, it was the first time since our high school graduation that I met some of our classmates. It was almost 38 years and we were just in our teens when we graduated from high school. Most of them are now proud grandparents! One of the regular attendees is a four-year old grandson of one of our batch mates. He practically grew up with the batch and is familiar with almost every one. I call him our “reunion baby”.
Our reunions always start with a Thanksgiving Mass and end with so much laughter, reminiscing the good old days and sometimes remembering events and our beloved teachers. It’s about cherishing getting older and humming songs of yesteryears, updating each other on the latest happenings in our
lives, hours of bantering, exchanging jokes and laughter. Not to be left of course is the scrumptious lunch or dinner for the batch. UST Education High School – part of history, part of a Pontifical, Royal Catholic University in the Philippines.
It may take years before we see some of our classmates again but the friendship, camaraderie and sense of belonging are what we will always cherish in our hearts.
