The Power of Friendship

"One of the most beautiful qualities of friendship is to understand and to be understood"
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Picture
         It was not until the Camp Caribou trip that I realized how much I was going to miss our grade. I didn't realize how close I had become with all of my piers, and how there will never be another class like this one ever again. It struck me suddenly, and I realized that I must savor every moment of my ninth grade year, I can't let it slip away. 

          People always say that you become extremely close with classmates you would never have in the 9th grade. I always disregarded this, and thought that I would stay friends with the same people without expanding friendships. To my surprise, at Caribou I almost immediately started talking and hanging out with other people that I never had previously. Throughout the trip, I continued reaching out to my other classmates, and I realized how how much I both do and don't know about them. The trip made me realize how special the relationships, connections, and bonds that our class has formed over the years truly are.

 For the remainder of our final year at Fenn, we must all strive to make the most of and expand our relationships between our classmates. Next year, we will all be separated into different schools. 

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Great reflection, I thought it was great that you brought if back in a circle like an essay! And you're right, we better savor every single moment.

You have some awesome and poignant thoughts. It would help to have a few specific images (smoking guns) to back up your thoughts.

I love how you separated this reflection into this format, because it really made the ending special. I got to know you better on this trip, and I too, look forward to an exciting year.

I too think that friendship is more important that almost anything and I also talked to more people than I ever thought I would and I will miss all of you at the end of the year and like you said "enjoy it well it lasts".
