It's now or never. Either I do or I don't. After this is over, I will never see them again. Over the course of 10 years, I've grown much more than was ever imagined of me. I've laughed, gotten angry, told jokes, made friends, made enemies, saved lives, and even ended a few. Since I was activated, I have sought to make myself more human. But have I accomplished my personal goal? According to my friends - who treat me as an equal, not just an android - yes, I have. I remember saying that I always knew that I would outlive my friends. Yes, I would go on and make new friends. But eventually, they too will age and die. They are human. I am a machine and therefore I cannot "die" unless I am deactivated. But I know now, because of my experiences.and because of my friends, I have become as human as any of them. And so my dear friends, what I do now, I do for you.
