I've only kept two friends that I know from high school. One is a doctor and the other works in finance.
I do see people I went to school with on a fairly regular basis though. A few years ago, I was going through the drive through at McD's and the girl at the window recognized me. She was someone I hung out with in middle and early high school. About a month ago, I was at the grocery store and saw another girl that I was close with in h.s. She was pushing a stroller with 2 kids and had married the brother of her h.s. best friend. At the time I felt a little bad that I had very little to say to either of them. But, people grow and develop and those who grow and develop in the same direction you do are generally the ones you stay close to. Otherwise, what are you going to talk about? baby formula? the fry machine?
