It’s amazing how time can change your perspective on what you really need and what you don’t. (Why on earth did I keep all of my notebooks and papers from high school and college? What a bunch of junk. The chemistry homework alone made me cringe!)
But I also found some real gems, like the graduation issue of our high school newspaper, The Budget, which included my brilliant comment from the section “In 10 Years: Predictions from the Class of 1996.” If I wasn't the editor-in-chief of the paper, I'd never believe I said this:
I will probably be working as a reporter for a television station somewhere, working my way to the big-time as an anchor on a prime time, nightly news broadcast. Or, if I’ve mellowed out by then, I’ll be living around here, teaching high school English and married with children. –Ellen Tolley
Riiiight. At least I can safely say that I’ve found a happy medium.
