C.S. Lewis once said that "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." I couldn't agree more. Friendship gives us a reason to keep living. Without them, we have to face the world alone. Sure you have family, but they aren't always going to be there when you're out in the world all alone. Having friends shows us a special type of love that only friends can give us. One of my favorite quotes is from the show M*A*S*H* "Hawkeye: Without love, what are we worth? 89 cents. 89 cents worth of chemicals walking around lonely."
I know a lot of people may say this but I have the best friends in the entire world. The are always there for me whenever I need them, and I will never be able to thank them enough for that. Over the past two years of high school I have made so many new friends. Even though I may have lost a coulpe along the way, I wouldn't change them for the world. Even though at the end of this year, I will be losing about half of my friends to graduation, I will never forget the priceless memories that we have made together.
