Yeah I Wrote This!

I think that it may be safe to say, that we are no longer innocent in the ways of life; and that with life’s extraordinary journeys, our roles too have changed.  Consequently, we now find ourselves enjoying paying the bills and meeting the personal obligations that our parents once were responsible for only a short time ago.  But then again some of us still have our parents taking care of us.  Lucky them!   Notwithstanding that fact, there are many amongst us who can happily boast that they now have their own families, with their own rug rats who soon attend our great Alma Matter.  And even more so there are several persons who can also boast that they are successful proprietors of their own businesses:  Omar Williams with his breathtaking Wild Seeds Designs, Bronson Pilgrim with his web hosting site brontoweb.com, Gia Chisholm with her exquisite Frolic and of course Jay Ambrister with his numerous outstanding enterprises.  

And then there are those who were blessed to have found their soul mates and who have decided to exchange nuptials.  Great men like Paul Albury, Darvin Cartwright, Starsky Cartwright, Anton Haven, Deshon Fox, Sean Knowles, Anthony Lowe, Mecal Newbold, Bronson Pilgrim, Brock Thompson and Ricardo Walker have all decided that the bachelor life wasn’t for them.  Similarly, stunning beauties such as Nadia Toote, Tiffany Maycock, Gia Chisholm, Tresa Cambridge, Vanessa Thompson, Nadeen Curry, Patrell Wallace, Ayodelle Horton, Lakeisha Smith, Raquel Carol, Chanaki Whyms, Nadia McHardy, Henrea Ferguson, Nadia Adderley and Monique Cooper have all been wooed and won and have adopted a new last name as there own.  There have also been beautiful love stories amongst us fellow graduates too; I dare mention the likes of the recently married Ayodelle and Deshon Fox, the dating duo of Ivan Roberts and Dominique Brennen and the lovely engaged couple Trevor Tucker and Nicole Humes.  Truly, it is good to see that love flourishes amongst fellow graduates. 

Then there are those of us who have put on some ‘sexy weight’; I know Jay Ambrister, Tavares Bowleg and Francis Burrows wear theirs well.  Mine isn’t too sexy though! (Winks.)  Similarly, there is even a once ‘divo’ who has gone a little bald, but I am not going to call his name out, (Starsky), but he wears it well all the same.

Nevertheless, we all have changed a little and with those changes we still gladly venture out to congregate with each other at our reunion exercise this coming July.  Some of us, like David Cartwright, Candace Johnson, Tanya Wildgoose, Carol Dames, Tresa Cambridge, Kenneth Ferguson and Kareem Lilas have migrated to different soils but will still brave the skies in order to return home for our big bashment. Truly, it does not matter what we once were, but that we are still here.  Here to celebrate with each other, to dance up a storm, to laugh and cry, to reminisce and to say: “Boy, Dem SAC Class of 1994 could party aye, dey still together dread!”
