Similarities.

While we were sitting in the woodshop, silent yet working hard, my friend broke the silence with one of the most important realizations of present life.
Out of no where he said,
"Honestly guys, I think I've found my place in this school.
Where would I be if I was anywhere else?"
Those are the truest words I've heard in a really long time.
I don't know if I could be working any harder for something I didn't enjoy.
I wouldn't succeed anywhere else and I definitely wouldn't belong.
I'm happy with my choices and the decisions I've made to get to this point.
Despite the challenges, I have never been more proud of myself.
