Don't screw it up, please.

I've been thinking quite a bit lately. Actually I usually do quite a bit of thinking, but lately the topic of my thoughts has had a sort of different angle. I was wondering about what our lives are going to be like in five or ten years. The people that we see everyday, we know, we've befriended and we hang around with...where are they gonna be? That thought really scares me. I'm not afraid of change, I've had plenty in my life, I'm used to it, but I'm afraid of what the changes will do to the people. The decisions we made now and in the near future may dictate our whole lives. I don't want to see people just throw their lives away. Really, if it came down to it, I would give up my life just so someone could have a successful one themselves. This is something I'm really passionate about.

As one of everyone's "favorite" teachers in the school says, "Life has no retests." There is a lot of truth and validity behind that.

I guess, ultimately what I'm trying to say is that I don't want to see our friends waste their lives. During high school I want to be able to make as much of an impact on everyone, so that there might possibly be a smaller chance of them screwing up. (Not that I'm all that great at not screwing up either...)
