"My name's Mackie, what's yours?"
"I'm Hailey. Where are you from?"
"Kearney, Nebraska. And what about you?"
"I'm a townie, I'm from Maryville. How many people did you graduate with?"
"Four hundred."
"Oh wow! That's how many people were in my whole school!"
"Yeah the kid I sat by I had never met in my whole life."
"Wow that's crazy. I have know most of the kids I graduated with my whole life!"
I received my diploma with one hundred and ten other kids from Maryville R-II High School. How many people someone receives their diploma with reveals a lot about a person, or does it? What are we really gaining from knowing how many people someone graduated with? A graduating class size is an indicator of how big the town is where that person graduated. It will also help you gain some insight on how big of a change college and moving to a town the size of Maryville is for that person. Another big factor I think about when I hear someone's class size is sports. Was there an greater opportunity for this person to be a "star" on a team basketball team with only 10 people on it, or did they cheer on their team from the sideline after not making it through tryouts?
