some things just don't change

[kareina]

I am spending the evening looking through old high school yearbooks for a research project (I am coordinating a memorial wall for the upcoming 40th anniversary of the founding of Steller, and want photos of those who are, sadly, no longer among the living). I am amused to see the text I wrote for my parting words when I graduated (in 1984):

"Six years already? How time flies, just yesterday I was in seventh grade! Let's see... Do I have any words of wisdom to leave behind? I can only say that Steller has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. So take care of my school for me, I'll be back to visit. My future plans? I plan to spend my life traveling, learning, and growing as a person!"

So, there you go, 30 years later, and my writing style and point of view haven't really changed. And I would say that I am doing fairly well fulfilling those "plans"...

I agree, you are definitely consistent! You haven't changed much in looks either in those 30 years. Nice job!
Love you

Lol--you haven't been looking at the photos in those yearbooks! The fact that I am 25 to 30 lbs lighter now than when I finished High School really shows--I had a very round face back then. Heck, even this photo, which was taken in about 2006 or 2007 shows my face as plumper than it is now...
