"Imagine the people you see everyday right now... the people you would least expect to not see tomorrow. In a couple of years, college will come and with it new friends and new experiences. The people you see everyday in the halls ... your friends ... and some of them -- your best friends, will disappear from your life, each going their own way. You'll see them once every ten years at some random reunion if that. These are the people you have grown up with, and friends with them or even if you're not - there will come a time when many of them won't even cross your mind ... the truth is - you'll see your best friends maybe once a year, because time goes by so fast and everyone is so busy. Enjoy today and enjoy tomorrow because these days come but once in our lives. Be thankful for what you have and most of all ... for who you have in your life because life's plans for you may bring you away from these people... but no matter what anyone says, and no matter what time can do -- your heart will always bring the best back, and your memories with them will forever hold a place in your soul."

"Okay so, imagine the last four years, your high school career. And try to remember everyone that was once in your life, can you do it? It's been a mere four years and you've probably forgotten at least five people. Now picture the people who you see every day and the people whom you love the most, will they be with you in four years? will you even remember their names? College will come and with it new friends, experiences, and new people that you'll see every day. We won't even cross your mind. The people you know today wont always be with you tomorrow, they'll form their own paths and you'll see them once every ten years at random reunions. The truth is, things change, and unfortunately, this huge milestone in your life is what starts the change. It sparks it, you'll forget about people, new people will be in your life and you and everyone else has to accept that also. Enjoy today, and enjoy tomorrow, because these days come but once in our lives, be thankful for what you have and most of all, for who you have in your life because life's plans for you may bring you away from these people, but no matter what anyone says, and no matter what time can do, your heart will always bring the best back and your memories with them will forever hold a place in your heart."
