It's been a month since we conducted the Alumni Meet in our school. We relived millions of childhood memories, throughout the time we worked for it.
On January 11th, 2026, our alumni meet brought together around 800 students and staff from the forty years of our school's operation.
In the event, I met a lot of seniors who saw me growing up and pampered me in my childhood, either when I visited our school, along with my mom who worked as a maths teacher, or when they visited our home for morning or night study. I could recognize many of them and all those wonderful childhood memories flashed across my mind, as if I was in a time-machine! I met my classmates after 26 years and juniors who lovingly considered me as their sister.
Meeting the teachers, all at once for the first time ever, was my fond memory from that day. Beyond that, something I will always cherish were the moments of joy I saw in the eyes of our teachers when they met their old students, all at once.
It was the Alumnae of a girls high school. Hence, the emotional bonding and the sensible thinking women usually have was pretty evident from the way everyone owned the event throughout. Everyone of us did what we could, also beyond.
I was brought up by many hands which I shook that day. Back in my childhood, I never felt I was a single child, probably because I was always surrounded by the students of my mother. Through the Alumni meet, I felt I had the responsibility to give great memories to all of them. I will always be grateful to everyone and the circumstances that helped me in lending my hand in conducting the Alumni Meet that took many women back to their girlhood and staff to their younger-times.
ఆ రోజు నేను కరచాలనం చేసిన చాలా మంది చేతుల్లో పెరిగిన అమ్మాయిని నేను. చిన్నప్పుడు ఒక్కదాన్నే పెరిగాను అని ఎప్పుడు అనిపించలేదు, నా చుట్టూ ఎప్పుడూ చాలామంది మా అమ్మ స్టూడెంట్స్ ఉండేవాళ్ళు. వాళ్లందరికి మంచి జ్ఞాపకాలు ఇవ్వాల్సిన బాధ్యత నాకు వుంది అని అనుకున్నాను. మా అందరిని మా చిన్నతనం లోకి, మా గురువులను వారి చిన్న వయసు జ్ఞాపకాలలోకి వెళ్లేలా చేసిన మా పూర్వ విద్యార్థినుల ఆత్మీయ సమ్మేళనం జరగడంలో నా వంతు చేయి వేయగలిగేలా నాకు సహకరించిన వారు అందరికి, సహకరించిన పరిస్థితులకు ఎప్పటికి కృతజ్ఞతతో వుంటాను.
I reserve the rest to say sometime later. If at all, when I write my story I will dedicate a chapter to writing about the event.
Thanks to social media and what's app applications that enabled us to gather and connect with almost 1200 old students and school staff.
Special thanks to my dad, Meduri Satyanarayana , who stood rock-solid behind me and our organizing team, for guiding and encouraging us throughout, also for investing his valuable time in writing the book about our school's history. I know that I cannot thank my mom enough. I did what I could, but it was her committed career that enabled me to do what I did and experience the magical pleasure of volunteering.
