My most important lesson learned is that friends and family are the most important people in a personperson's life. When I was younger, I would focus on what other people thought of me. Later in life, I realized that I should only care what my friends and family think. Even if what they tell me isn’t necessarily what I would want to hear, I know it is important. They would only tell me if they knew it was something that really needed to be fixed because they would never make me feel bad for no reason. My friends have helped me through everything with my parent's divorce, and with their help, I was able to talk to my family about it. Without them, helping me through my family drama, I don’t know where I would be. They would tell me straight if iI was in the wrong about something, or they would be on my side if something bad happened. I value my friends and family more than I ever hadhave before.
