Scott Richardson



So today I was ordering my graduation pictures online. I was doing it last minute and I found out that I could order anyone's graduation picture. My curiosity was peaked and started looking around until I found his picture.
Scott Richardson.
He was my friend since 5th grade. He was the first person to talk to me when I moved to Magna, He would then become my friend for life. Always busy and aspiring to become a doctor Scott is determined to become someone great, not that he already isn't, and he worked for it. He sacrificed his drama classes in order to take medical classes at the GTI during high school and constantly worked to pay for school and to have fun. This drained time and energy from him, yet he always found time to be with his friends.
He eventually made time to be able to come to my improv show at The Empress (I was running sound that night) and that night he told me he was leaving in two days to go join the Army. They were going to pay for his medical schooling. I told him he was brave and that I wouldn't be able to do that, I hate the military, and for that I salute him.
These pictures are from graduation, I found them online and kinda took them for myself (I didn't order them, just a screen shot). I'm afraid of not seeing him again, I know I won't see him for at least 4 years. I hope he contacts me somehow... maybe through and e-mail or a text message. I just want to be sure that he is alive and well.
He has only been gone a couple of weeks... I miss him already. He was like a brother, like my own blood.
Please, keep Scott in your prayers (regardless of believes, he deserves that much) and hope for his safe return.
