“ He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”                                                                                      Proverbs 13:20

When one follows the good and righteous path of wisdom, one grow and learns. Although when one does the complete opposite, it only leads them to their downfall and failure. This may seem too drastic but it's the unfortunate truth. If you were to keep a straight path with others having the same good goals as you it helps. It will only benefit you if you were to do this, it also depends on the person’s reference of choice. As if you were to be surrounded by those who like to ditch class, drink alcohol, not do their work, disrespect their parents, and ingest drugs. This can ONLY lead to the downfall of your said goals for a good future. I believe that this bible verse is true, because all those around you believe it or not… affect the way you act and speak. It is only best to surround yourself with friends that match the same values as you, but to also make sure those values are good.
