Super What?

Things really have changed. My beliefs in social programs, my friends, who I trust, how I spend my time, where I live. It's all been altered. I always find it fascinating how quickly life can change. Amazingly, throughout all this change I still have amazing people to support me. I love them for this. I honestly don't know what I would do without my Dad. I would be so lost. He sees things so clearly. He's the best person for advice.

College doesn't just educate you about what is going on in the world. It throws you into society, this is why I think it is so important to live in the dorms. To get away from home. You learn about people in real life. You learn from people. No longer are your parents there to pick up the check, to take care of everything, to protect you. Looking at others' flaws you have the ability to see your own.

With my father, while he may not protect me, I am able to go to him for counsel. That's what is important. I know one day, he will leave me. I hope this day is in years from now, but he will leave someday. I will have no control over when this occurs, but something does give me hope. I see similarities in Steve and my Father. I know he will be there when the time comes to oversee me. He wouldn't leave my side.

I Love all of my friends, and while I don't love them all equally, I greatly appreciate their commitment to me.

Love,

Joshua
