Greed

I have continued to read Greed by Robin Wasserman over the past few weeks. I have found some interesting quotes throughout the book, but one really got my attention. "Graduation only meant the end of high school, she told herself, not the end of everything." p. 236 I thought that that quote was something that everyone can relate to and take something from. There are many people who think that at the end of high school they will never see their friends again because they are going to different places. They may also think nothing will be the same after they graduate. It is true that it won't be the same, but that does not necessarily have to be a bad thing. I realized this past year when many of my friends left for college that it would be a while until I saw them again, but I also realized that just because they may be across the country, that doesn't mean my life has to end or that it will never be the same. Having the chance to make new friends and still have my friends who were at college has made my life that much better. I believe that if I, or anyone in that position, had stayed in that mind frame, I would not be having the fun I am now and I wouldn't have met some of the people I met.
