CLASS OF 1988
Auburndale, FL

Dawn's Story

I hope old friends will remember me as being loyal, devoted and protective, alongside of being unique, comical, and laid back. I definitely walked to the beat of my own drum, and didn't care if others thought I was out of tune or not. I am blessed to have had so many friends from different groups in high school that treated me really well and accepted me for my differences. I have so many memories from AHS, and I was only there for the latter part of 87 and then all of 1988. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have music on the radio, caffeine in my hand, and my ipod at the ready to be able to deal with the day-to-day. To blow off steam, turning on the dance music - either in the car, in the house, or on the Ipod and cutting loose..although I wouldn't recommend the actual dancing part while driving..it tends to be a distraction to the rest of the driving population..and will gain you some shocked looks...lol Fashion - am I still in to what I wore 10-20 years ago?? Totally! I am a 80's chick through and through. I like what's comfortable and flattering, nothing loud with colors or obnoxious with wild patterns. I still ...Expand for more
own stonewashed jeans from when I was 18..and they still fit!! Me..black dress..high heels..jewelry..lookin' good. Have tried the "fads" as they occurred, but never liked the fit, the cut etc. and kept coming back to my "norm". Now my biggest gripe is that is harder and harder to find "the norm" out there! If I could do one thing over, and still have the four awesome children that I have today, I would have never broken up wth my high school, crush after moving back to PA from Florida and dating him. We both lost 20 years of each other, and were in unhappy marriages. While we can't make up for the 20 years lost, we look back and both agree without a doubt that what we had then was real, and that God answers prayers, because almost exactly 20 years later, we found each other, and on that first date, it was like we had never been apart. I've never been so happy as I have been the past 3 years, but knowing that we missed 20 years together because of a choice I made is truly a lesson learned the hard way. I think this is a major reason why we cherish each other so much..because what we have is a true gift and treasure every day.
