High School Reunions & Childhood Dreams
I attended high school in the early ‘80s when MTV was still new and fantastic. Breakfast Club, the movie, looked like a template of my school life. Students had labels and stereotypes that were earned or handed to them. We had our lives in front of us and couldn’t wait to go out and conquer the world. For the most part, we were a confident bunch of young people.
I was going to be a dancer. I had danced to the theme of The Wiz (Quincy Jones interpretation of The Wizard of Oz), Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Vivaldi’s Winter, and the theme from Magnum, P.I. to name a few. My passion for dance was almost equal to my passion for choreography. In my yearbook, many students wished me well on my way to becoming a dancer.
