The Piece of Paper Next to my Computer

"Una persona no hace un viaje,
un viaje hace la persona."
-Katie Cope

I assume it was written for Spanish class, but is still none the less a wonderful quote. It translates to "A person doesn't make the trip, the trip makes the person."
It is a good way to show that our experiences shape who we are. How we go about these experiences, good or bad, show people how we live, or who we live for. People watch other people all the time. They see how they react to scenarios, and see if they would relate to them well. The more you look up to someone the closer you'll watch them. See what they say, how they go about life. I think it's important to watch everyone, not just people you want to get to know better. If you pay attention you can see who is looking for someone to talk to. It's hard to just pass by someone you know is hurting so badly.
