Rita's Story
After leaving high school, I briefly attended college, but was unable to decide what I wanted to do when I grew up (still haven't -- grown up I mean). After meeting my husband I moved back to Vancouver, where my first daughter was born. We lived there for approximately six years until we bought our first house in Surrey. Our second daughter was born about a year after moving back to Surrey. Our family now has three kids -- the last one is our biggest baby, Nazzie--our yellow lab.
I worked for Telus for about 12 years until a series of back injuries kept me from returning to work, so now I am a realtor. It gives me something to do and I keep my own hours and can work as much or as little as I need to.
I often wonder what happened to everyone from the Class of '85. The only people I have kept in contact with over the years are Dai...Expand for more
sy Rodrigues and Theresa Kepfer. I was found my Sheryl and Mitra on Facebook and have since also reunited with some other close friends including Baljit Bahria and Amar Mannan.
I was also lucky enough to meet Manjit again just before she passed away suddenly last year. It was an incredibly tragic, sad and shocking experience to everyone who knew her. But in losing her it taught me not to take anything or anyone for granted because you just never know when it could happen to you.
So remember to never say anything that you may regret because you may not have the opportunity to take it back--they could be the last words that you're remembered by---pretty sobering thought.
I hope you all have an amazingly wonderful and prosperous New Year and I hope to get reconnected with more of you this year. Best Wishes to all of you, Rita Arora
