Assignment #10 - Looking Back

MY ADVICE

Your best friends will be the biggest jackasses you’ll meet in all of high school, but they’ll also be the ones that get you through every bit of conflict that comes your way. In ninth grade my friends put signs all over the school saying I loved Megan Doyle. In tenth grade we spent a weekend together in Massachusetts and never thought we’d last all three days. In eleventh grade we discovered the bridge and spent every summer day there. In twelfth grade we’ll need to say goodbye to each other, which is a day that none of us are yet prepared for. The most important thing I’ve learned in high school is that without your friends, you’re nowhere. Remember to always keep them close, no one else matters. They’ll be the ones to get you through all your problems, and they’ll also be the one to give you the most problems. But just keep in mind, they’re there for you just like you’re there for them, and never take it for granted.
