It's interesting how things you do as a teenager can be remembered by an adult even long after you have forgotten it.  I went to a funeral viewing today of some friends of mines father.  One of the women there is the mother of yet another friend of mine from years ago when we went to school together.  She remembered who I was and how I had made a wrestling scrapbook for him my senior year, his junior year.  I was a wrestlerette, kind of like a cheerleader/manager for the wrestling team.  There was a whole group of us who did it.  Each of us was assigned a varsity wrestler who we basically were in charge of.  We would decorate their lockers on the day of wrestling matches and then at the end of the season we made them a scrapbook to remember the season by.  She could still remember the scrapbook I had made and that was 24 years ago.  I had completely forgotten all about it but she said I did such a good job with it that she will never forget it.  Things like that really mean so much to me.  To know I made an impression like that as an 18 year old who was struggling just to make it through high school.  It helps me realize I had and still have more potential then I gave/give myself credit for.  It was a nice reminder for me to look at the positive today, instead of worrying about all the things I do wrong.
