I have my prom picture still after 24 years. My mom saved some of my paper work and grade cards. I really like that. It lets me remember the good times I did have in school.
I even saved the glass and napkin from prom.
I saved all my poems I used to write in 7th grade.
How about you?

Yes I have saved quite a bit from my school days. I have all my prom and homecoming pictures. I still have all my report cards. I even saved my band shirts that I had to wear under my marching band uniform. It is all packed up in a box. Saving things like this helps us remember those days and it's also a way to share our youth with our children, grandchildren and so on.

I guess I miss some things from my past being that life was much simpler. And I do miss some of the friends I had. Life does seem to go by quickly when you look back. I'm starting to feel old-LOL

I no longer have any keepsakes from school, I did have one or two things but nothing of any great importance, I was just glad to get out of school to be honest with you!! But the keepsakes that I did have were lost when I had a house fire. I lost most of my material personal possessions in that fire, which upset me more than losing the actual house.

Yeah I was glad to get out of school too. I was happy to be free. Until I found out I would have to work hard the rest of my life-LOL
I'm sorry about the fire. It would be hard to lose some things. Hugs.
