Nathan - a Part of Me Now

A part of me now

I never thought I would find someone that can make smile, and laugh as much as my friends back at home but I did. I also never thought I would find someone who could understand me, more than me. I only met him three months ago, but in that short amount of time he has impacted my life, and has impacted my identity. That one person that has brought me constant smiles to my face, and has somehow found a way to impact my life in three months, would be Nathan.

All through high school my friends were the ones that held parties and got fucked up on the weekends. They were defiantly pulling me away from God. My friends got me to experience stuff I never in my life would imagine doing. I never thought I would escape from all of that; coming to college and meeting Nathan has changed me. In the past three months he has led me to the right direction, and by saying that, closer to God. By meeting Nathan he has showed me that you can have fun without drinking and going to parties every weekend. He has turned my life around and has made me a better person in the past three months. I have not been this close to God in a very long time, and I have Nathan to thank.

Not only has Nathan led me to the right direction but he has also showed me what it should feel like to have someone to lean on. He has been by my side more than anyone throughout my time at Mars Hill. He knows my unhappiness at Mars Hill and has been there for me every step of the way in making my choice to transfer to Western Carolina University. I know this is hard on him, but I know he just wants to see me happy and knows it is the right choice in the long run. I have never had someone truly there for me like he is. Because of Nathan I am transferring to Western Carolina University because of his support and willingness to be there for me. He has showed me that he will always have my back and will always be there for me. I have never had someone to always have my back like he does. He also has been there for me with my decision to quit the cross-country team here at Mars
