I survived my senior year of high school primarily by trying to make myself even more invisible. "Can't I at least keep one Def Leppard album?" I pleaded. I vividly remember almost crying when my youth pastor instructed me that my collection of hard rock / heavy metal music had to be thrown away. Starting an entirely different direction in life during my senior year of high. I knew I needed to separate myself from "bad company" (1 Corinthians 15:33) and bad influences until I was spiritually mature enough to resist those temptations. Talk about making your senior year of high school awkward! My youth pastor stressed the importance of separating myself from the friends who were occasional bad influences on me. But, I am not sure if I had ever truly or fully understood it until just around the start of my senior year in high school. I had some background in the Christian faith as a young child, and I know others had shared the Gospel with me. A few months after I began attending church is when I know for sure I understood the Gospel and accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I began attending the church fairly regularly, and the youth pastor began to disciple me. But, the most important development was me meeting the youth pastor. He enticed me with the promise of pretty girls, and what 17-year-old male can resist that?!? It was a fun weekend. I was seriously confused in regards to what my life was supposed to be about, and high school was not helping.Īs painful an event as losing my dad was, it was definitely not the most transformative thing that happened to me.ĭuring the summer between my junior and senior year, a friend of mine invited me to his church's youth group camping trip. I definitely withdrew from the social aspect of high school as I struggled to deal with the loss of my father. I had a loving mother and older sister who cared for me, but I still needed a dad. I just said "it was what he wanted" and left it at that.īut I was definitely not ready to be father-less at that time in my life. I remember some friends and teachers questioning why I was in school so soon after he died. My father always stressed the importance of school and education, and one of his final wishes was that I would not miss any school once he died. It had been a long and painful six or so months since the diagnosis, so it was actually a relief to my family when he passed away. And then, two powerful events happened to me that dramatically impacted the rest of my life.ĭuring my junior year, my father passed away from stomach cancer. For the most part, I was invisible, and I liked it that way. I was pretty much "middle of the pack" in everything. One thing the reunion definitely did is remind me of how difficult a time high school was for me. Virtually everyone seemed genuinely pleased to see everyone else. There was very little bragging or self-promotion. The "nerds" are married to attractive women and are successful doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. The popular people are now friendly towards everyone. It was cool to see how most everyone has grown up, at least a little bit. Hopefully I will now be able to stay in touch with some of them. It was a great time reconnecting with some old friends. Being used to be imprisoned in the Eight Trigrams Jail and gaining power from his subordinates turned his irises red, something that he regained after his training in The Skyscraper.I recently attended my 20-year high school reunion.
