A Trip to the Past

I went to ISD (Illinois School for the Deaf) where I graduated from high school a couple of weeks ago. I truly had a blessed time seeing all of my teachers, especially a visit with one particular teacher that helped me a lot during my time there. I also had a chance to visit some friends who I graduated with and caught up with them. It was good to find out what they were up to.

Friday morning I showed up in the high school building and had lunch with the teachers. This was a time of them asking me questions and wanting to know what I was doing in my life. Saturday was the day of games. V-ball game and football game. After the games I went back to Penny's house and watched a movie and ate pizza. On sunday I went to church with Penny which is the same church that I attended when I went to high school down there. I saw more teachers and friends there. Then Sunday afternoon I went along with Penny to one of the teacher's baby shower. I had a good time there catching up with other people that I knew while attending high school.

Overall this trip was good. It made me realize several things. Even though ISD was considered my home when I was attending there it isn't my home anymore. I guess I thought I would recieve that "home" feeling once arriving but I found myself wanting to go home, here in Rockford. I also got a chance to truly thank some teachers for their help and setting an example for me. I had a chance to sit and talk with one of my teachers who is a Christian and encouraged me a lot while I was there. I know both my parents and I feel that Jamsie (the teacher) was one of the reason why I pulled through my last year there.

Here are some pictures!!
