It’s a new year. My life is so different. High school seems like a dream from long ago but pleasant memories of those few years easily bring me back. I promised myself I'd make it back to the school for a reunion and this year I've finally done it.

It's difficult not to be drawn to the auditorium. How many others have ridden through free time (and classes) on the sturdy wooden soldiers? I’m in awe as I reflect how most of the seats are so much older than any of its previous riders.

The elevators seem mystical to me. Back in the day, I watched as noisy blurs hurriedly moved in and out of the magical boxes. In the three years that I stepped from basement to upper levels, I never used the elevators. I walked pass them. The convenience of the wired carriages couldn’t compete with the shyness of my anxious youth as I escaped to the close by stairways.
Picture

The hallways pull away from me as an imaginary class bell rings. Almost bumping into others in the corridor became a daily occurrence as everyone honored their personal space. I realize that folks in the distance are familiar. As my step quickens, I smile. No time for that lonely feeling when there are so many friends close by.

Life is so different but so many things remain the same. A world-wind of emotions suddenly take me back. I remember how unusual a school like Music and Art really was. M&A will always be part of my soul because of the blessings bestowed upon me by being there. I'm glad I decided to come back.

    M&A was a blessing, which is difficult to forget. Let's talk about the good times.
