The unexpected reunion was just mentioned in passing and as a joke, but never did these people expect for the event to push through.
I was told by my former High School teacher that there was a plan for a grand reunion for the past and present Faculty and Staff of Formation School and Kiddies' Learning Center, Inc, and that pledges were also welcome.
So at the back of my mind, I was planning to giver them a small amount, just a little something that could contribute to the success of this event. Unfortunately, finances are a bit thin as of the moment, so I became an unexpected guest and volunteered to cover the event for them.
Despite the short meeting, it brought back a whole plethora of memories shared between and among the attendees, myself included.
Though it was unspoken, it brought back a sense of kinship that was sometimes just reserved to family. Laughter rang loud and sharing of current statures and experiences abound.
The past was dug up, including the not so easy paths (and even lovelives???) that these educators have been through since leaving the school.
Personally, I have these very people to be thankful for. Most of the things that I have been equipped with, I have learned from these dedicated human beings during my formative years. I have left high school soaring and unafraid as to what awaits me, be it in college of even at work, all because of the knowledge and wisdom, and even character building that they have imparted to us, the students.
Despite the small number of attendees, due to some previous engagements and physical absence from the country, I'm glad I came to this event and bear witness to this momentous occasion. I hear there is a grander reunion in the horizon, and I hope that each of these molders of the future, the past and present of the small school of Formation School and Kiddies' Learning Center, Inc., would all be able to meet again.
