In case I haven't pointed it out in my previous entries, I am a guy who really values the importance of his family and friends. I was just talking to a few friends I have known for a while. While talking to them, I came to the realization that these guys were like my brothers. Almost every meaningful event involving me in the last couple of years has also involved them in some way. Because of this, they are probably going to have a heavy presence in the memoir I am required to write for English class.
Friends are really important, as after a while those you commonly associate with begin to feel like family. Associating friends as family has been a common occurrence in my life, as much of my relatives still reside in Poland. Aside from a few cousins who live in the US, there aren't really too many relatives I see on a regular basis.
That isn't to say that I don't value the relationships I have with my blood relatives, I do. I try to keep in contact with relatives across the Ocean, with phone calls/emails/etc. It just doesn't really feel the same though as I've seen the majority of them maybe twice over the course of my lifetime. It's funny how geography can shape a person's contacts.
I do however, stay in constant contact with my immediate family; my father, mother, and brother. They are all a staple in my life. They will also probably be present in my memoir.
