Celebrate . . . Friends - the gift we give ourselves They say if you have just one in your lifetime, you’re a lucky person. Good friends are something that don ' t come along everyday. They’re a beautiful gift we give ourselves. They’re something that cannot be bought. When things don’t go your way and you have nowhere to turn, our friends are usually the place we go. They ' re there with open arms and listening ears ready to comfort us. Good friends play an important role in our life. They know most everything about you, yet they still care for you. They help you when you need help, they are there when you need them; they soon become a necessity. It seems everyone enjoys having his friends around through most events that take place. One thing imparticular that doesn’t seem complete without friends is a celebration. A celebration becomes so special when friends are near. Birthdays are a type of celebration in which it becomes worthwhile to have such treasured peo- ple close by. They help make each birth- day complete. Birthdays are the annual event that most everyone looks forward to. With friends around, it becomes a special cele- bration. With each birthday, one gets older and older, the older one gets, the more grow- ing up one must do. More decisions must be made and the preparation for life gets closer and closer. Adulthood is right around the corner, so is the rest of the world. As aging is part of everyone, everyone goes through changes. Certain changes in peoples lives consist of schooling, like college, and further, going into careers, responsibilities, and families. This breaking away from how things once can be extremely painful. Leaving things that once were such a great part of you is an experience no one will for- get. There are many paths in life and many tough decisions that have to be made. Many mistakes will be made on our road to adulthood. We learn from our mis- takes, so don’t lose hope. Life is the wonderful gift we all have been fortunate enough to receive. So, take hold of life. Ride it as far as it will take you. You’ve got it — take advan- tage of it. ▼ Jill Britton SWEET SIXTEEN Helping Amy McGuire celebrate her birthday Hawaiian style are: Gin- ny Miller, Michele Cobb, Laura Bearss, and Kelly Skertich.
