One
lesson my dad taught me early on in life was to treasure and hold on tight to
your friends. As the son of a commander in the Navy, my father had to move all
over the country to various schools. He met many, many people along the way
that he became great friends with, but never thought to keep in contact. Now he
has been trying to contact some for years but has yet to do so successfully.
The
first thing I hope to do this summer is make plans to hold onto my friends,
because I have already lost a friend before that had to move and learned the
hard way what my father had learned. As much as I might tell people I can't
wait to go to college, I can't tell them just how much more I want to keep in
touch with my friends. No one reads this, but if you do try to keep in touch
with your friends, because no matter how much you might be fed up with them
now, you will kick yourself for separating from them.
