That’s the most interesting thing I learned about the Halloween tradition.

It’s the night that sends shivers down our spines. The night where ghosts and goblins pass into our world, stalking us as we in collect treats from house to house. Halloween. Yes, it all seems like simple fun, as we get to take part in parades, dress as your favourite character, and try to ignore the other individuals dressed as monsters, attempting to scare us.

Halloween of my junior year in high school is a memorable point that documents where life started to change for me for the better. And yes, this is a story about Halloween but more importantly this is my story about how friendship changed my perspective and ultimately my life. To give some background, my sophomore year of high school is not a time I look back on with any fondness. I was a mess, a product of the situation in my home. My dad was diagnosed with cancer the end of my freshman year and the year that followed this news was a painful one. My dad’s stress from working his demanding job and keeping his problems concealed caused his depression to spiral into a very dark place leaving my mom, little sister, and I at a loss. We weren’t allowed to tell people what was going on at home because my dad was a shamed of what he was going through as a man dealing with prostate cancer. So naturally, having to bottle up what I was going through had a very adverse affect on me. I didn't have many friends at this point since starting high school I jumped from ten years of Catholic school to the public school system. I only had a few close friends that I couldn’t even talk to about what was going on so I distanced myself from them.
