Old Friends Change

Anonymous Users

Not wishing to cause any havoc and hell, I'll just put it out there. I finally realize the... "burden" of allow anonymous comments. Now I don't mean that people shouldn't comment (in fact, I love it because that means people read my blog), but as a blog author I wish I knew who all these people are and if they are just friends, family, or random viewers.

Don't get me wrong though. I get it. I like to be anonymous sometimes too.

Thanks to whoever put up the comment in the last post. I try my best to be a good friend and student.

Change

Sparked by a recent post by another blogger, I've decided to once again write about change. However this time I've decided to write more about the change of my old friends.

I can't say for sure how my old friends are doing. The ones that I have seen, well, some are doing much better (academically and socially) than they did in elementary. Some have just lost it.

Near the end of the school year I visited Van Tech. After thinking about my visit I realized that I'm actually really glad I ended up at Alpha. Looking at the people there, well, it was hard to even think about me having any friends there if I had gone to Tech. I feel like if I had gone to Tech, all my friends would be the same as before.

For some reason I feel at fault for the friends who have become worse through high school. Maybe it's because I grew up with them and I feel some sort of obligation to watch over them like a father watches over his children going to college.

Whenever my mind reaches this certain topic, I always wonder what my life would be like if I had somehow gone to Tech. I wonder how life for everybody would change if that happened. Would people at Alpha be affected for better or worse? I know a lot of people would say worse, but how can we know for sure? Maybe there would be another "Kevin" to replace me.

I wonder if Alpha really needs me. I like to think that way, and maybe Alpha does need me, and maybe it doesn't. To a lot of people I'm a good friend, and to others I'm just another person in the hallways. Maybe Alpha doesn't need me, and maybe another school is in greater need of me. I guess I'll never know.

Sorry For So Many Words

For some reason I just couldn't find a spot to put in any images in. None of the topics I've discussed really needed any, so that's why there aren't any. If you've read through all of this, give yourself a pat on the back. No, seriously, if you haven't done it yet, do it.

Anyhow, my biology unit in my summer course finally ended and now all that's left is the physics unit (which I love so far) before the Provincial. I feel like I should be a 9, but saying that doesn't feel right. So I'm going to go with 8. Thanks for reading through if you have.
