all i know is that favorite person doesn't cut it. i've met sooo many cool people through FIRST. from people close (for now), like M. Krass, to people across the country (yay jim/joe/amy!
) to people down in florida (mel and jon) and everyone in between. i must say, if i have a bad day, i come home, turn on my computer, and i know i'll be able to at least talk to someone, and then i'm not alone. and on the good days, i have a blast talking to everyone.
if i tried to name one person from FIRST, i'm not even sure where i'd start. there's so many people from tigerbolt, here, and even in my own school. there has been one person who has had a huge impact on my life though. talking to her brightens my day. i've also learned a tremendous amount of stuff, things i would never have learned otherwise. talking to her has also changed my outlook on life, and made me realize just how much i take for granted. it's also made me realize how trivial some things are, which helps a lot sometimes. there's so much more to say, but it's so hard to put into words, because as we all know, you can't just put friendship down on paper (or a message board in this case
), because friendship is so much greater than words. granted, we can't see each other everyday, but knowing that there's someone to talk to when you get home makes a bad day bearable.
as i said before, there's no way i could name everyone who's touched my life through FIRST (i'd be here for a few years
), but there are those few (and they know who they are), and i know that no matter what, we'll always be friends, and in the end, isn't that all that really matters?
