One point in time when I came to a significant insight in my life was when my best friend passed away my senior year of high school. I was miserable for weeks with the thought of losing such a significant person in my life. I couldn't go to school for a while and really had a hard time with the realization. Over time I came to realize that I had learned so much from him and what had happened. Although it was the most tragic thing I have endured in my life, I learned to appreciate everything that I have been given. I have been very blessed with an unbelievable group of friends and family and I have been able to cherish them so much more through what I have experienced. You can never take for granted all of the blessings you obtain in life and I learned to always appreciate them. My friend, August, had tons of compassion and I have come to realize how important it is to live like that. I have always tried to compare myself to August since he passed back in 2008. He was the most care-free person I have ever met, and I was always the worrier. I came to realize how important it is to do everything you ever wanted to do. You never know when something can happen and I never want to feel that I didn’t get everything out of life. It was the worst thing I could have ever asked to happen, but it enlightened me on what is important in life.
