My friend and classmate, Brandi Lynn Allen was killed in a car accident this Monday afternoon. I am still in denial. It scares me to know that people's lives can be taken away so easily. The town of Holmen where I grew up has last five students just in the past year. That fact absolutely devastates me. So many young people have died before they even had a chance to grow up and live their lives. Brandi was an outgoing girl who was friendly with everyone. I honestly believe that nobody ever once disliked Brandi. Brandi and I had talked a lot because we had gone to the same school together since kindergarten and because of our love for horses. This is a second student from the class of 2010 who had been killed. The deaths of so many of my friends really make me want to live my life to the fullest. I try not to complain as much either, because my friends are no longer here. No matter what, I could always be in a worse situation. So many of my classmates from Holmen have died. I want to better my life for them. It's true that you should never take anything for granted, and always be thankful for who and what you have in your life.
