I have only had a handful of friends that have made an enorous impact on my life, most of which I met in elementary school and continue to be my friends today. If I look at my life chronologically based on events/successes, it would look like I was a normal kid in sports, then I joined a club basketball team in junior high, then I was a very successful athlete in high school and had 2 specific friend groups throughout, both of which supported my basketball endeavors and my academic ones. My friend group at school was full of the schools best student-athletes, and they helped to keep me on that path throughout those four years. After basketball was an easy success for me, I got a division 1 scholarship from a club team I was on that I ended up leaving and going back to play with my origional club friends. This was instrumental for me because it made basketball fun for me again leading into college. If I had made any very clo9se friends in college, I would probably have stayed at my former school, but I am very happy for the friendships and people I met along the way to transferring to Monmouth. Now, my friends here are all athletes who strive to be successful in the classroom as well. I guess that is the type of people I am drawn to.
This relates to Batman because he is a loner who is attracted to those who are like-minded to him. That is why he becomes quick friends with the cheif. Both of them want what is best for the city, and are willing to put their pride aside to create this powerhouse to fight crime. I guess my friends and I are sort of powerhouse people who help each other be successful in life.
