Learn With ThemJoel Weber's learning, teaching, growth, teens, & Holden High School blog
|
How remarkable that people from as many as 40 years ago would make time to travel to their high school reunion.
And remarkable again that although many of you had not met before, and many of you hadn’t been near Holden in years, you were all comfortable sharing your feelings because you were all part of the Holden community. The common theme in the circle go-round, from 1973 graduates to 2014 graduates: Holden let me be or become my unique self. (Even though I might not remember the exact years I was there!) And again, it being Holden and teens being teens, no two unique selves were alike. And the common theme from staff: you say you were lucky, but we were the lucky ones: we got to learn from you and grow with you, and we got to see miraculous transformations. All the time. And for me, maybe the most luck of all: 38 years before I graduated from Holden. Thanks alumni for being who you are. And let’s do it again next year! I love you all.
