Change in Plans

     In my opinion, I feel a change in plans becomes necessary when a real family concern occurs. When someone loses a family member suddenly or expectantly, or a family member has had a tragic accident or something of that sort, the situation becomes totally necessary to change the plans. At that point in time you forget about all the plans you had planned with your friends to go here then go there, all you care about is being with your family.

     I feel that the friends should not be upset and be completely supportive of their friend that is going through a hard time. It is a valid reason to drop all plans with others. Family should always go first. It's not like that friend is making up a story because they rather do something else, or because they just don't want to hang out with them.

     Another valid reason would be if you just truly could not make it to one of your plans because it interferes with a plan that was previously planned. When it comes down to what is more important, I believe, you have to go with what you committed to first. But if one activity that you planned was to hang out with your friends and the other was to go to a college orientation or anything college oriented, the college things out weigh hanging out with your friends. You can hang out with your friends anytime you want but you can not go to college things whenever you want, it's whenever you can.
