The Great Perhaps

Recently I have read the book Looking for Alaska by John Green. It is all about a boy named Miles and his search for his own "great perhaps". A great perhaps, in my opinion, is an event, person, etc. that makes your entire life worth while. He begins his quest for the great perhaps by enrolling in a boarding school. Here, he meets people that truly lead him to his great perhaps. To me, the idea of a great perhaps is something that excites me. It gives me motivation to seek adventure and live life to the fullest. In addition, the emphasis of the importance of friendship and family really made me realize how important these things are, rather than material things. The best "great perhaps" is the one that involves a person, or a moment.So I look forward to one day discovering my great perhaps,  because without a great perhaps, what would be worth living for??
