A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” I have recently learned how true this statement is and started to realize that it applies to just about everything in my life, From college, to getting over the loss of a good friend, to starting new relationships. Ever since I was a little girl I talked about going to college. As got into high school I started to receive letters and information from different colleges. But the fact that was actually going to go didn’t hit me until I had to start picking out and narrowing down the college I wanted to go to in my junior year.
Now that I’m entering my second half of my senior year I have to pick out which colleges apply to and soon will attend. The rest of my life started with the small step of dreaming of going to college. Over the past few years I have lost many close and dear friends. Each time received the bad news that someone else had passed away the pain I felt was unbearable and like my Whole world came crashing down. Time went on and have learned to accept that no one lives forever and that it was just that persons time to pass on.
I hue also learned to hind of each persons life as a blessing and that the end is not a horrible thing but just makes us appreciate each person around us more-After losing so many people in a short period of time I became very wary of making new friends. For some reason I thought that if got to know someone new I would lose someone else. I kept pushing people away, trying to protect myself from feeling more pain. Thankfully over the summer had a chance to realize that thought wrong. There were so many people around me that wanted to be my friend and I was going out.
By the time got back to school my whole attitude had changed. People that I had pushed away were still willing to be my friend and I accepted them. Now I have some really great trends that are there to help me out whenever I need them. Most important thing feel though is that they need me.
