Finding your identity is key to success in life. I have had similar situations that happened to myself over the course of my first year of college. It is very difficult to see the bad choices your so called best friends from high school made. My friend from high school getting into trouble from actions that he made in his first year of school really opened up my eyes. It becomes reality in realizing that this actually could have been me in his situation and it could have really ruined my future. It really made a difference in the choice I made. It resulted in growing up and making better long term life choice.
