Long Lost Bud
My best friends and I from home have been friends since we were 5. We all went to day camp together and ended up at the same middle school and high school. There was about six of us until high school when our friend, Marissa moved away. I have not seen or heard from her since the day she moved I guess because we were all so young. We didn't have aim messenger or email yet. Because of Myspace I was able to recently contact her.
On Myspace.com you can search for anyone by their name. I typed in her full name and 5 or 6 "profiles" came up but I immediately recognized her picture. I sent her a message asking how she was doing and what she was up to. She ended up moving to Jackson, NJ and attending Jackson high school. She was always very quiet and into not so much into sports. She is more of the arts type. She really got into arts and science in high school. Her parents ended up divorcing and her mom moved right outside of Philly. She stayed with her father and brother in NJ and graduated in 2002. She applied to many colleges but first heard back from University of the Sciences in Philadelphia and decided to attend majoring in biochemistry. As she began to take classes, she was most interested in the Pharmaceutical field. Marissa also did many different internship on campus while taking classes. She joined the American Chemical Society Student Affiliate Organization, which sponsors seminars and field trips to industrial and governmental laboratories which she loved. She also plans to pursue her PH.D. one day so she can work on developing drugs for the treatment and cure of disease. She now still lives with her boyfriend who is also a student at USP but majors in Fitness and Health Management. They live in Philadelphia right by the University of Penn's campus.
She was very interested in what I was up to as well. We plan to meet up soon for lunch or coffee and really catch up.
