Morning yall… Yesterday I was reminded that I had to do a talk on friendships, and unusually nothing immediately came to my mind. However, last night I was looking through the red book that Mrs. Larkin gave all of us a number of weeks back now and realised how complex friendships actually are. I took note of some of the points involved in creating friendships and maintaining them. There were six words written in bold. Loyalty, commitment, honesty, trust, generosity, and understanding. Thinking back on my four years at Burke Hall I really can’t see any times where these words were connected with friends. I can really only see friends back then as people I would chill with at lunchtimes. Unless we were both interested in the same sport there was no real connection. That’s probably one of the reasons why I’m not friends with those people anymore. Was there really a connection in the first place??? Don’t put your hand up for these question, but, think to yourself…Have you ever told you friends about problems your having at home??? What about problems that your having with other friends??? Or problems your having with teachers??? When your younger you are still unsure about yourself and really don’t have a lot of courage to do discuss personal issues. I’ve changed a lot as a person since my time at Burke Hall and at since then also straightened out my priorities. Last year, I would be playing basketball every Friday night and nearly every Saturday night.
