my old school is asking for "alumni" to write statements and share a few memories. How do you share a few when that school changed your entire life? how do you share a few when living in India (so much for being anonymous) was the best thing that ever happened to you? How do you condense everything you learnt, everything that had an effect on you, and everything that has made your life better into a few sentences? how do you thank every person that made your experiences, and hence your memories, just so much better?

tell them that
think about what you can say in a "statement." the term itself is rather ambiguous. if its a paragraph, write a good outline of the good times. if its a few sentences, outline the results it had on you.
i agree, though. its so difficult to summarize a life changing era into a few short, unfulfilling sentences.
Didn't you just do it?
I understand how you feel kinda. I don't really know your situation but I hated a school that I went to and they asked for "alumni" to speak there. Basically, the school ruined those years of my life.
