I feel like this quote couldn't be any more accurate. Family plays a huge role in a person's life and some people just take it for granted. I could not even imagine if I didn't have the support that my family has been giving me since day 1.

When he says 'love' that doesn't have to mean romantically. People forget that love can be in friends, family, and maybe even in yourself and pets! Sometimes people can look over the role that friends play in your life. But with no love in life, where would you be?

If you live with sadness, anger, and focus on the bad, then things in life will seem bad. You can never live a great life if you never feel happy. My grandmas favorite spot used to be cedar point! This year on her birthday, my dad took me to Cedar Point and we went on all of her favorites. Instead of being sad over her birthday without her, we made it fun. She would have liked us having fun rather than crying.

Caring souls doesn't even have to be people you have known for so long. The people you value so much have such a huge impact on your life. People out there can be alone and the people in the world who have good relationship may waste it when those who are alone crave love.

I really like this quote even though I am not in Morrie's shoes. I love outside, wildlife, and anything of that sort. but when you really take a minute to look around at the trees, sunset, mountain (if/when you get the chance) is amazing.

Things happen and you have to live with just knowing they happened. You can never change the past even if you really want to. The past holds memories, good and bad, but no matter what happened you can always learn to better yourself from whatever happened. Like when something happened 9th grade xc, I have learned to grow from that and I am becoming more successful.

Love is always all around you. Obviously love is in family and they will always be a part of you and try their best to make you happy. Friends are there to enjoy time with and support you. Though love can be in things like pets and teammates.

I value family but sometimes not enough. When Morrie talks about family, he makes his sound like the only thing in life. I would always like to strengthen the bonds I have with my family. I think that it is hard to learn how to live because we are still so young, school and friends are what most people think about at this age. This means that we do overlook things and I feel I don't value life in general.

I do like when Morrie says that when people die the relationship is still there. I do believe that when the ones we have lost are gone, they are still watching over us and they still are a part of our families. Also when Morrie is talking about the past, I have gone through a few little things where I thought it was a huge deal at the time but we are so little. Humans are just here on a huge rock and worry about all of the little things. Once we can move on from that, everything is so much better and life is easier.
