Preparing for that School Reunion - Continued

In the days and weeks that lead up to when you are going to be heading off to your reunion, think about where you are in your life, what you have experienced and what you enjoy most in life. You will want to express what some of your favorite things are in life, what you have been doing, and what you enjoy doing in your spare time. Some of the friends you have had back in high school will love to hear all about the things that you most likely still have in common!

Give yourself a little pep talk. Think about how much you enjoy life and what you have done in your lifetime. You have possibly raised a few children, you have started a new job, you may have moved to another city and made lots of new friends, been able to be out on your own, graduated from college or gotten married. No matter what else is going on in your life, you should feel good about what you have going for you, there is always some one else who is going to wish they have what special life you have. 

Practice striking up conversations if you find that you have a hard time talking with others. Just say hello when you are walking in the grocery or when you are in the mall. If you have a hard time talking with others, you can get out and start a head of time learning to make conversation and talking with others before you head off to the reunion. 

A class reunion is really no different than heading off for a night out on the town, at the dance hall or at the bar. All you have to do is think about getting out for the night and enjoying yourself, no matter who you are there with. What is going to be really great about the whole situation is that after the night of the reunion you are going to be so happy that you were able to see everyone and hear from your old friends and acquaintances once again. The entire evening is going to go by so fast you will wonder why you were worried about having a good time to begin with.
