The Cooling Stream

The high school years were the best years of my life.

Those were the years when a group of aspiring young men and women struggled to prepare themselves for the uncertain future. Those were the times when my friends and I worked hard together, often without much sleep and rest, helping and supporting one another, studied day and night for long period of time, to realize our dreams and our goals.

Those were the years when a group of romantic young men and women falling in love for the first time in a real and meaningful way. Here they fell in love, and began to make plans for their future, very rationally but sometimes emotionally.

Those were the years when a group of committed young men and women met, talked and did everything and anything together, learning to be responsible ad accountable for their lives for the first time. Often they fell into many awful mistakes, but then they were determined to stand up again and had everything done properly and professionally.

Those were the years when a group of carefree young men and women came together, enjoyed one another's company, and had fun. They joked and laughed together; they told many stories and tales; they talked about every topic under the sun; they sang and danced and had parties, etc.

I miss the high school years; those were the years when we were so determined to chase after our dreams and goals...

I miss the high school years; those were the years when we were so committed to do somethings well...

I miss the high school years; those were the years of romance and love and friends and life...

I miss the high school years; those were the years of carefree exploration and discovery and satisfaction and enjoyment...

Oh! How I miss my high school years.
