Influential Friends!

When i think about who has helped to shape my life and my thoughts, only one person comes to mind, my best friends Kevin and Pat. I met Pat when i went on a retreat through my school my junior year of high school. At first i didn't think i would get along with him all that well but to my surprise we connected great! We both loved the same music, hung out with the same group at school and we both were on the the retreat for very similar reasons. After that, we were inseparable. We went to concerts together, partied together and even just sat around and talked about life. One of the greatest things I learned from Pat was that life is to short to be upset or angry all the time. We should take time to reflect on what good things are happening or at least try to see some good in everything.
My other best friend Kevin, is a little more down to Earth then Pat. Kevin and i met in sophomore year and have had classes together ever since then. We always just seemed to have a good time when we were together. We didn't always talked about life but when i ever had a problem, Kevin was always there to hear what i had to say. Kevin has also shaped my ways of thinking by helping me to relax and not get so stressed out by all of life's little problems. Life really does move at a quick pace and if you cant slow things down, you miss a lot of the fun and great opportunities being young has to offer.
All the people i surround myself with teach me more and more as time goes on. My friends especially help me to get over the stress that each new day brings. I feel it's the friendships like this that will last for a long time

Peace
