Well.......

My life altering experience is something I've talked about before. About this time last year my childhood best friend, Rachel, went into the hospital like she did one a month almost every month. She's a very very very sick girl and it was commonplace to see her in a hospital bed. So when her sister called me and told me she was in the hospital and probably wasn't going to make it I thought she was being dramatic, turns out she was serious. I missed three days of school sitting in a hospital in Gainesville thinking that my best friend was about to die. Not many people experience a friend dying before they even turn 18 and I was about to lose the only person who I trusted and relyed on for 9 years of my life.
