2. When we would be at work [pause] (hopefully), we can ask our friends to fill up what we missed, they can cover up for us, can do your shift with reason of course.
3. AND wouldn’t your social life be boring? You may not realize but besides the help and encouragement you get from your parents, your friends confirm it and give you confidence. They help you out when you are in need, they listen to you when you are in pain and the list goes on and on and on. <br />These years went by so fast that we didn’t have time to stop and think about this. That’s why I want to spend this time to thank all my friends that they have helped me out all this time, no matter what problems they are facing. <br />Another thing I want to mention is that we are not aware of our future, it may seem frightening now, looming over us like a tornado, [pause] but we will find light, and the rainbow that comes with rain. <br />So when I look outside, I see the bright horizon and that is my future.
