'Friends of a Feather... Stick Together

It is important to choose the right friends, good friends can take you wherever you want to go in life, and the wrong friends can be a disastrous decision. A quote from The Pact sums this up nicely, “Friendship can lift you up, strengthen and empower you, or break you down, weaken and defeat you.” (32) This is why it is so important to surround yourself with positive people, and

I had always adored being in the classroom with her and trying to learn what she was teaching her classes, although they were much higher above my learning level. I had gone to the school with her for a couple years up until the time she had retired. This was an important aspect of my life because as I got older, English was always my strong point in school. Having her teach me how to read and write helped me become advanced in my English classes. I had always gotten high grades in all of my English courses or I was always put in the higher level reading groups at school. My grandmother really helped me establish a broad range of vocabulary; with this I was able to write quite well even as a young child in my younger

She has taught me so many moral values to life and has made me the man I am

I have not one friend, which I am thankful for being that the mere idea of associating with people makes me sick, and I’m sure the only time I do interact with a person is if I’m trying to disturb

My grandmother, Carolyn. She’s not my real grandmother, not by blood, but she is still my grandma. She’s very old, I would say. So old that her back creaks, she has to walk with a cane, and her hands are a shrinkwrapped bag of bones, veiny and old.

When I was little I didn’t have ever really have a friend. I would hop from friend group to friend trying to fit in, but it never really worked. I guess you can pretty much call me a “floater.” So every weekend when everyone

Although we both have a disease that is unfortunate. She has given me not only advice to my disease and computers. She has taught me to be more positive and have fun! This disease is something we have to

As we progressed in our lives, we moved away from annoying each other, to becoming friends.

In life, there are people that you become friends with and stay friends for maybe a couple weeks or months; and then there are some that you are friends with for years and sometimes the rest of your life. These people can make you happy and help you out in stressful situations or help make big decisions. Then, there are also those “friends” that lead you to do things that maybe you would have never done before and they could get you in trouble.

Friendship is all about safekeeping. Being able to know you can count on that person, or you being there for your friend.

However, although our conversations may be few and far between, they always make for memorable moments.

My grandmother, Esther Turner, has impacted my life in more ways than just simply being there for me, as a grandmother. She’s much more than that, in my eyes. Being the eldest of three, I’ve always taken on more responsibility as the older sister. It was my job to show my little brother and sister which paths were safe to take in this wild, confusing maze called life. At times, I felt like a mother myself, and at a young age, I found myself slightly intimidated by all the responsibilities that were laid on my shoulders. The main person I could talk to freely and openly, without judgment, was my grandmother. We have always been able to speak to each other about any and everything, nothing was off limits. That’s what I think brought us so close, the fact that she accepted me entirely for the person I presented to her.

Friends what are they for, well a good friend would be there when I needed them, not just be a

Many people define what friend is by their own definition such as a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard or people who are aware of how retarded you are and still manage to be seen in public with you. people who make you laugh till you pee your pants. people who cry for you when one of your special items disappear. when you dont have enough money to get a ice cream, they chip in. knows all of your internet passwords. People who would never make you cry just to be mean. For me, friend is someone who accept the way you are, someone who always cheer you up, someone who always support you no matter your condition is. There are also two types of people. The first type is those who like to have friends that are similar to them. And the other type is

She understood perseverance and the importance of people and she carried on against all odds. The last time I spoke to her, she knew exactly who I was, despite
