I have this quote hanging up in my room and I live it everyday: “you are who your friends are.” In my life I try to be around positive and successful people because that is who I am. I know that may sound selfish and egotistical, but you must set high standards for yourself. If you want to lead and achieve, you must receive friends who fit your standards. Your standards are there to protect you and to guide you to success, don’t lower it for anyone or anything or you’ll regret it for rest of your life.

As for Sarah, I am truly sorry for her and things that guys have done to her, but she shouldn’t have been there in first place. She shouldn’t continually be around same negative people who may do those kind of things. She needs to understand power of saying “no”. It’s not rude in life to sometime say no to wrong people, it’s not rude at all. If you were driving down highway and you noticed a road block, you wouldn’t try to run into it. You would go around it or move it aside. That’s way you must be with your friends: life is short, you don’t have time for people that will bring you down or hinder your success.

As Eminem said in his rap song “lose yourself”, you have one chance, one opportunity don’t blow it!
