Most of my classmates are now married and have kids and some are still pregnant. Oh my God.. It was just 2 years ago since we graduated high school.. and now they have their own family!!
I feel proud that I'm still here single yet happy and contented, working, studying and pursuing my dreams.. I promised my whole family I won't get married until I reached my dreams which is also their dreams.
That's a promise and I won't disappoint them. I feel proud of myself because I am studying yet working at the same time!
I am 100% determined to pursue my dreams before settling down!
I just wish my classmates and their families to be safe always and best of luck!!
Mylotters, any updates about your classmates or schoolmates?

Wow!! Only 2 yrs since graduating from High School and a lot of them are now Married and have kids? I am sure that this is common in a lot of areas, but even back with the class I graduated with 29 yrs. ago many of us waited, and did our own thing, and most of us that waited are still married to the same person as well. Remember you do not have to be in a rush to get married and have kids. When the right man comes along you will know, and it will be worth it for sure.

I had a family ahead of my batch as well..when they are experiencing all the perks of college life, i am already starting motherhood. i was in second year of college that time and it was pretty tough..and even now when i look at them i could see how successful singles they have become..but then when i also look at mine, i also have achievements on my own.. though i finished college without fail and never had grades lower that 2 ( since flat 1 is the highest)..i am still proud of it and well my greatest achievements are my kids, all are pretty smart themselves. I just look at it this way, i just leveled up faster than them

As early as now, I would like a "toast to your success" Edsss... I believe that each of us were given enough. Enough troubles, loads, burdens and enough blessings, gifts, talents and capability to achieve our goals. Our responses to every circumstance is the most crucial part here. We have to learn and grow according to the consequences of our actions. And I believe you pretty much made great responses to your circumstances as you stood firm, and strong, pressing towards the goals you've set for yourself and for your family. To that my friend, Kudos!

Hi edsss17: I fully support your decision. You know, there is a dream, there is a hope. One with a dream will has more chances to succeed than those without any dreams and have nothing to do. Hold firmly, without wvavering, to the dream that you strive for. Marriage is a thing that will occurs sooner or later. Best wishes to you.

Good for you. You should use this time to have fun, live, find adventures, get educated and not tied down with a family. I haven't kept in touch with any of my classmates except for one but I haven't heard from her in a while now. I know most of them are married and have kids. I am not and that's how I want it. Everyone has different choices to make in life whatever choice you make just be happy and do what it right for you and no one else.

Its been only about five years out of High School for me and five years might have been about fifteen years a lot of the time with all of the changes in life. It is hard to reconcile the people I knew in High School with the people that I know some of them as they are today. Then again, it is very easy to reconcile some of them, as they have never really change all that much from their teenage years. Which does in fact prove a point that I have made, that some people grow up, but many people get older.
Yet, they are living the lives in ways that they want to live. And that is a good thing for them for sure. Everyone does move through their own pace through life. Some people settle down rather soon. Some people do it later in life. Others never do it, because they are not the settling type. There is really no time table on any part of life. Therefore, we all move at our own place. Still time does move fast. Its hard to believe it has been only five years for me and for everyone else in my class. It does seem like an eternity in many ways.
