Where would I be without my friends? They keep me honest, give advice, and urge me on to better things. That’s what true friends do.
Growing up at NCA has taught me many things. One thing I have gleaned from our little school is the importance of good relationships. Luckily I have never had to look far for good friends. They were virtually chosen for me. When you are surrounded by the same handful of people everyday for six or more years, you can’t help but form friendships.
When I look around, I don’t see friendships like ours in the adults that surround me. Do friends disappear at a certain age? It seems like all my superiors are with out the buddies that I have. Did they substitute them for a wife, family, and job? It certainly seems that way. It frightens me that the people I am so close to now will probably be gone some day. The chances are that we will grow apart and go our separate ways. Everyday I think about my friends. Everyday I think about their feelings and our relationships. It just seems daunting that one day we might have priorities that are above each other. So take a minute and think about good friends you have and good friends you have lost.

Wow. I often have thought the exact same thing. You're right. It is a frightening prospect to lose people you're so close with. We make promises to stay close, but then we don't. Are we liars or just unable to keep our words? Well for what it's worth right now Isaac you are a close friend to me. True story!
