Homecoming

39 ...
The university quadrangle burst in outfits of coral, ruby, pearl and yellow as alumni gathered to celebrate.  You could tell from any viewing angle that one symbolic hue among all others stood out because the Golden Jubilarians’ dominated representation.  There they were in their yellow and gold garb, proud and joyful over making it to 50th year after graduation.  More so were they overtly expressive over their milestone achievement as their class was called to get on stage and receive one, huge recognition.  No one saw it coming, but surely, they put on a show of choreographed dances, songs and speeches of gratitude to their alma mater.  Homecoming brings mixed feelings of nostalgic kind, for sure.  What is obvious though is that returning to a place, which guided young careers or sent seasoned professionals to wide worlds and experiences, dig from inside out, senses of accomplishment, pride and humility!
