keep meeting new people, enlarging my circle of friends

As we talk about the need to foster academic achievement, we must recognize and reward those who strive academically, just as we honor athletic champions.

 Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain. If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

I want to keep meeting new people, enlarging my circle of friends. I have great friends now... really good people. But I'm always ready for what comes next.
