It took me a while to learn in life that sometimes you just lose people. Whether that be because of extraneous circumstances, or people simply living their life in a certain direction, it happens.
I do think you meet people for a reason, and even if you’re friends for a limited amount of time, it’s enough to affect your life and change you for the better.
With that said, I hope to maintain a consistent relationship with a core group of people. I hope to build long-term relationships that I can look back on the past and KNOW I’ve been changed for good because of them.
Some of these people include the following:
Adam Radtke
Alethia Yu
Alex Goetz
Alexis Perez
Amul Shah
Amy Hoang
Andy Phan 
Bijan Fazeli
Brian Vo
Claire Yang
Earle Tabula
Elizabeth Goodrich
George Tello
Henry Lu
Hiep Tran
Howard Nguyen
Jerick Galang
Jessica Daggett
John Torres
Julia Peng
Karl Yabes 
Leta He
Louise Chan
Michelle Wong
Nandhu Reddy
Neil Bui
Nhi Nguyen
Annie & Jenny Tran
Rocio Cruz
Rosario Solano
Tanya Tran 
Theresa Bui
Thiep Mai
Tiffany Saw
John Nguyen
Tyler Nelson
People sometimes are removed from the list, but this doesn’t diminish the effect they had on my life.
There’s people that do need to be added to the list, who include: Michele Gauthier, Fiorella Carhuaz, Audrey Wolski, Mileth Ruiz, Sid Sharma, Pam Sran, Ronny Hoffman, Jackie Dinh, Duke Park, Nam Ho, Cheyenne Paige, Noelle Herrera, and Clifford Mao
Because I knew you, I have been changed for good :).
You’ll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend…
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
