Would You Sign My Yearbook?



Last night, a friend of mine sent me a picture message. It was a picture of my senior portrait in the ERHS class of 2000 yearbook.

I never wanted a yearbook as an underclassman. I wanted the excitement of getting one for my senior year.

Getting that picture message made me kind of sad. Back then, my parents were not able afford my senior portraits, let alone my yearbook. We barely had enough for me and Sim's senior dues. When I finally scraped up enough money, I was denied a yearbook. The school had run out by the time I got there. I was too late.

To this day, I still want my senior yearbook. I've always wanted it...and I'm sad that I may never have a copy of it.

There are few things in life that I truly and passionately wanted. I know it sounds lame, but I was denied that milestone item. I never got to ask someone to sign my yearbook.

High school wasn't an easy part of my life...but in the end, I grew because of it. Now, I take so much pride of what I have done back then. I guess people take that kind of stuff for granted.

Seven years later, I'm still left wanting...
