Opinions

                Throughout my whole life, my opinions on many things have changed.  I think I’ve matured a little bit, which made me think differently about other people.  A few things that made me think in particular are school and friends.  Not just friends from high school, but friends from college well.  When I was young, my perspective on school and friends is way different from mine now.  As a kid, I hated school and I don’t understand the point of going to school.  Teachers teach us subjects and topics that I thought I won’t be using in the future.  My dad warned me about what lies ahead for me as I grow older, so I always fool around and try to have fun as much as I can before reality hits me in the face.  I didn’t take his word seriously.  As years pass by, I became more aware and realized how important my education is.  Not only school is for my education, but school is fun too.  Usually I walk straight home afterschool. But around my senior year in high school, I usually stay around the campus afterschool because of my friends.  I always look forward to seeing my friend’s afterschool.

                My opinion on friends has changed as well.  As a child, I’m pretty attached to my friends and I believed that we will always stay close as we grow older.  I’m a military kid, so it’s very difficult for me to maintain contact and bonds with my friends because I move around a lot of cities and countries.  When I was in high school, I used to hang out with a big group of people.  And I thought I we’re going to be close together once we depart and go on separate ways once we graduate, but I was wrong.  Everyone has their own paths to choose.  As long as they keep doing what they love, I don’t mind this change at all.  I knew from the beginning of my senior year that being with my friends won’t last forever.
