My father works for the Coca-Cola Company, and as a result of that, I am always changing schools to go
to new places for his job. Right before I moved to California, I had lived in Ohio for six years. I had many
close friends, and it was very hard for me to be able to leave them. When I first moved, my friends and I
talked all the time.
Then I noticed I started to call my friends less and less each week as I had begun to make friends out here
in California. It came to the point where I never called any of my friends from Ohio anymore, because I felt
that I did not need to talk to them anymore.
After one of my friends from Ohio called me and told me not to forget who my real friends were, I realized
that I had become a completely (完全地 ) different person. I had adapted (适应) to the new "California" ways
and completely left all of my friends who really cared about me in Ohio behind out of my life. They were the
friends that always cared for me and were there when I needed them the most and I almost let that slip away
(溜走 ).
As soon as I realized my huge mistake, I started to make more and more calls to my friends from Ohio to
try to keep our friendships.
