have you gone to high school reunion?

I don't go to high school reunion and will never go, ever. Why? It's mainstream and nobody would sign to me. ha. And waste my time.

Exactly how I feel. Except for sign. I was not included in high school. Sure it would not be better now.

LOL---I guess I was lucky three years ago. We didn't have the tenth so the 20th was set up.

My daughter and I went to the Family Day portion of the reunion and had a ball. The evening portion, I didn't go--too costly for a few hours of the above. Besides, my little one came first at night....

Maybe I didn't hear all of the conversations but everyone seemed more happy to touch base than to brag about things we accomplished. It was FUN.
 
I've never attended my high school reunions, and I'm not interested in attending any.
 
I have never been to any of my high school class reunion. I did consider attending one after I ran into a former classmate at the DeafNation Expo in Atlanta, she said she would send me info through E-mail, which I have never heard from. Maybe she lost my E-mail address? They had the last one almost two years ago. Well, if they wanted me to attend the next one (20th), they could contact me through the DeafVP directory. I don't believe I would go to the next one (20th) anyways.
 
I didnt go to the 10th or 20th (yikes Im giving away my age here :giggle:) but I had a biggest surprise of my life when I ran into my old high school classmate on the plane to Las Vegas two weeks ago. I hadnt seen her since 1986. She asked me why I never went to these reunions - I just didnt care about all these braggings and competitions - do I want to waste my night looking at pictures of their mansions, cars, kids, trophy wives or studly husbands? :giggle:

But for my next one, I may hire a young stud and have everyone there think I am a cougar with a very goodlooking young man :fingersx::laugh2:
 
I went to my hs reunion last year for the first time in 20 years. It was ok, got to see old friends some from elementry school that was exciting. My class is very small, since I went grow up in private school all my life. Since, then I've kept in touch with a few sending emails to say hello.

As one of the 2 deaf alumni of a class of over 500 students in 1990, it was sweet revenge going to my 10 year renunion cuz at the time I was a grad student going to an university in DC. Many of my former classmates only got their AA degrees and never moved across the country nor even saw the Nation's Capitol. They were pretty impressed that I, the deaf and dumb one, accomplished so much! LOL!!!!
 
We missed our 10th because more than half of us girls were pregnant, giving birth, or just gave birth. We gotta plan to get together soon. I want one so bad because I miss seeing everyone, and I'm so curious about how their lives turned out. I kept in touch with most of my classmates, but there are a few that none of us heard from since graduation. It is weird knowing that most of these people literally grew up together from toddlerhood to their senior year - and now they are all scattered all over the U.S. I hope we all can get together at least one last time.

Our deaf association group held a convention in which we had alumnis from the deaf schools...some of these folks had their 50th or more year reunion! I was just amazed...and actually touched. They invited me (I guess because I was the chair of the convention or something) in their groups as they looked at old photographs and papers - it was an amazing experience listening to their stories of their youth at the deaf school. One guy asked me to take a picture, which I did...and then he grabbed my hand and said, "This (his hand gestured to the large group of deaf/hh people who were conversing in the gym) is family. We are family."

None taken. I am wheelchair bound and was mainstreamed as well, so I understand. School wasn't a pleasant experience for me, either. :)

hi there :),

I know that feeling.
u know in my mainstream school, not very popular for deaf group. most hearie are popular hang out with hearie. it was quite bad experience with hearie people but fun with deaf friends in high school, (of course, bad and good time). So things changed and separate ways u know getting older. It's not the same anymore.

things changed and happened in my life.

well, I've change my mind. I don't think I will want to go there.

I think school reunions are not a common thing down in Aussie anyway. Thank goodness.

I think you're correct about that.

However, if my school were to host a reunion then I'd definitely go. But it's somewhat of a moot point because we'd find out news about each other through the deaf grapevine or deaf socials. :)
 
Screw that class reunions. If it is for Deaf people, sure.. I am willing to go there if they notify me in advance, not at a last minute.

Ever thought maybe cause they are bragging alot, they are in fact unhappy?
Those who are truely happy don't really brag alot of what they have. Kinda sad to think isn't it?
