When Nate Left
There are times in your life when you learn something from a situation that you never thought would help you to grow or change at all. I have had a couple of these experiences in my own life and I really feel that they've shaped the person that I am today. When you lose a loved one it really changes how you see and feel about life. It makes you realize how short life can be and how you shouldn't take it for granted. The death of my friend Nate made me realize how truly short life can be, that I should never take life for granted, and that even the most harmless situations can be hazardous. Nate was the kid in high school that everybody loved. He was a varsity wrestler on a team that always won state, a good student, and a hardcore partier. If something was going on, Nate knew about it. He was that guy that everyone turned to in their time of need. The aspect of Nate's personality that inspired me most was his willingness to listen and talk to others without judgment. There was no one in our school that Nate didn't know or wasn't friends with. He worked with youth wrestling as well to help younger kids become better wrestlers. He always gave back to the wrestling program what he got out of it and was never afraid to work hard t
Why did this happen to him? I just kept thinking that over and over again in my head. We never thought his drive to succeed would change, we just thought he needed to get away from our town and the party scene. Now that Nate's gone I realize how truly special and important he was. The funeral was really hard for everyone since Nate was so well known. In my heart I almost felt like it was my fault. I didn't think that this would happen to me or to any of my friends. I take with me each day Nate's will to succeed and his ability to connect with everyone he meets. The one aspect of Nate's personality that scared me the most were his party habits. Every day since then I've told my mom that I love her. We've also spoken at high schools in our area to explain to students that these drugs really are dangerous, no matter how safe you may think they are.
