I graduated in a class slightly smaller than my sister's the next year, in a class of 494. After my sister graduated, they finished building the second high school for the county. They now have three. Somehow, it's not the same.

As a contrast, my daughter, who started kindergarten less than a block away from our home this year, will graduate in 2018 in a class of approximately 51. There are three k classes of 17 each, and only one elementary, middle and high school in our town.

They just promised it would be worth it." ~ Unknown author
