30for30: Favorite Assignments #2

In just 31 days, the LHS Class of 1989 will celebrate its 30th high school reunion (on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 7pm in the back room of the infamous Downtown Lounge) ... which is why I've been posting these special TOP 30 lists (see previous lists of Jukebox Memories and Most Memorable Teachers/Staff).

This month ... it's all about the top 30 favorite assignments (see rules below) -- and that means I'm going into the archives and going way way way back to duotang folders in a bin in storage, most of which that have not even been OPENED for the last three decades.

Next up -- a final visit to the SEE (Secondary Enrichment Experiences) folder for round three.  In it I found the paperwork from one of the special events from early in my sophomore year (an offsite workshop opened up to a certain group of students as coordinated by the guidance office) that was focused on "charting a career path".  By the end of the day, I had the skeleton of a plan listing goals to take the PSAT and SAT (check), to go to LVC (check) and to get married and have a career (check and check).  On the bottom, I had to list specific steps to take, and on the far left, I wrote "find wife".  Luckily for Chris and I (wink-wink), the same sheet says at the very bottom: "Be flexible, your goals are not set in concrete -- re-arrange and change them as you go"!


RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST:  These are MY favorite assignments.  They may also be YOUR favorite assignments -- but they may not be, especially since it's quite conceivable that you have NO favorite assignments.  My grades, though, were pretty good ... so, you know ... hence this particular countdown.  No negativity or other comments about hoarding will be permitted (after all -- hoarders wouldn't know where [most] of their things are and they wouldn't be so [mostly] organized ... so SHUT YOUR MOUTH about that).  The poster is not responsible for any reappearance of any repressed memories you might have about anything that is included in this series.  Note:  due to the fewer number of days in February, two posts of this kind will show up on Sundays.
