FRIENDS FROM TIME TO TIME (4)

FRIENDS FROM TIME TO TIME (4)

In ninth grade your idea of a good friend
was the person who went with you to
that “cool” party thrown by a senior so you wouldn’t wind up being the only freshman there.

In tenth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.
In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend
was the person who gave you rides in their new car.,
convinced your parents that you shouldn’t be grounded consoled you
when you broke up with your significant other and found you a date to the prom

In the twelfth grade your idea of a good friend
was the person who helped you pick out a college,
assured you that you would get into that college,
help you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go.

At graduation your idea of good friend was the person who was crying on the side but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you
