I Am Like A Friend

It was just him, my sister, and I at first before all the other youth came in. We were just lounging in his bedroom, just talking like old times. It was all so familiar to us and it came naturally. It was like a relapse of our friendship. After while everyone started coming in and it was time to eat. After we finished eating CJ and I decided to go in his room and talk. CJ and I sat on his soft, comfortable bed. His cousin accompanied us to talk. I was as confused as a deer in headlights to what was going on. His cousin then asked me “ Do you like CJ?” and I looked at CJ confused and realized he wanted to know too. I said “Yeah, I like him” and she asked me “ Do you want to go with him?” and I looked at her and him, back and forth. She seemed to be very brusque. I just said “Sure”. CJ asked “Sure?” then I changed my answer and said yes. After we exchanged contact information he was required to depart to work.

I sat with these guys and started discussing actual topics, more than “Hey, how you doing?” and ending the conversation there. I realized I have a lot more interesting relatives with similar interests than I expected.

I wasn’t planning to tell them about my marriage, my parents expect a certain level of obedience from me. Therefore to get married whilst being engaged to Paris would be extremely

After two years of serious dating, my boyfriend, Marcus Crane, finally popped the question. You know, the question, and I promptly accepted his proposal of marriage. It happened three months ago during dinner at our favorite restaurant, Luigi's, located in downtown Baltimore. Although I had been impatiently waiting for that moment, I must admit, he took me by surprise when, in front of all in attendance, he got down on bended knee and asked me to marry him, slipping a sparkling two-carat diamond ring on my finger.

I felt so bad because i knew she didn’t raise me like this i know my mother raise me good i choose to do wrong. That same day i cry and pray for myself i needed help i needed to find myself i needed to change for good. 4 weeks past my court day was on a monday in the afternoon that monday came i got myself ready for court and for whatever was going to happened i walked down the hallway and open the door and sat down and waited for the Judge to call my name my body start getting hot my hands start shaking i was scared.

"I was not expecting it! My mind was completely on wedding mode and not on baby mode — was not expecting babies for like another two years, and, yeah, so then that’s what happened. It definitely threw us through a loop, and we were kind of like, ‘Well, we need to figure this out, because the baby is going to be born October 20,’ and I don’t want

At the time it was very scary not to mention shameful because this just didn’t happen to girls I knew. My parents tried to force the issue of marriage but I couldn’t bring myself to do it because it was not the best relationship. I didn’t value the institution of marriage above my own well being. It was a really tough time but it turned out for the best.

Over the years, music has really become one of the main forms of poetry, but are the songs you’re listening to really a poem? Poetic merit are basically the points in a piece of literature that makes it a poem. In this essay I will be analyzing the song “You Ain’t Never had a Friend like Me” from Aladdin, by Neyo, which to me is saying that Aladdin will never find a friend that will back him up as much as the Genie. I believe this song is indeed a poem for the following reasons: it has a consistent rhyme scheme, it has lots of poetic elements, and the song itself has a lot of meaning and symbolism.

Love is one of the most powerful choices we make in life. Since we were born, our parents, peers, and family have always wanted the best for us, and some choices we make like who we date and think about if you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. Your parents have a big influence on your life choices. To most people, having their parents decide whether or not they can marry someone, isn't what most people prefer. The idea of having parents help you to decide or just decide whether or not they want you to marry this person. At what extent should a parent have control of their child’s decisions? Parents should decide who their child should marry because they have more experience, they know when their child is ready,

"Marry your childhood close-Friend, Lin?!" Oh my, my first love ever since I started my preschool. Surprisingly, I'm kind of happy to marry her, we even promised to marry each other once we're old enough to marry.

In a small town in West Virginia, a HOT single mom was sitting in her car at a 7-Eleven. Out of nowhere, a handsome bachelor came and tapped on her window. The mother was startled because her two daughters were with her and she had no idea who this man was. Who would have thought that you two were destined to be together.

He’s very social and has met a couple of my friends over the years. My neighbors have also had some interactions with my cousin which ended up turning into a neighborhood war including go-karts, nerf guns, electric scooters, pool noodles and even some sticks. We had a good time.

On that day I reluctantly initiated a limited chat with my new acquaintance not knowing he will eventually end

“Not under my roof! Do you actually think I would let your significant other stay the night as well as sleep in the same bed as you” is what my mom would say with a look of disgust and disrespect written all over her face. I was raised to not have sex before marriage. I have been taught this all my life and read in the bible that we shouldn’t have sex before marriage. When I was in the ninth grade my parents had a talk with me and my other siblings about the “birds and bees”. They called all of us down into the living room and told us to have a seat. “I know you are probably thinking what’s going on, but your father and I would like to have this conversation with you guys. You guys are old enough now to understand that your body will feel

My life has always been full of expectations, whether they are minuscule or immense my parents know that there expectations will be met without any hesitation because I was raised to obey and respect my parents using them essentially as guides to live my life in a positive way averting stress and negativity. In my culture most Pakistani parents think children are often subjected to comply with their parents without a question, although times are changing gradually the same beliefs are still being passed down from generation to generation. In my point of view, the concept of arranged marriage has a lot of importance and value the idea of letting others decide your life partner is wild. The outlook of marrying a stranger or someone that your family doesn’t know seems absurd to many Muslim families, although many people are accustomed by now there are still many in society like my father and grandmother who think of it very adversely. My life has never been tough I have never faced enormous struggles in life and neither have I been placed in situations which put me in deep thought. For as long as I remember I have always loved my Father with all of my heart and have always tried to please him weather its academically or just traditional responsibilities a son should complete for his father. Throughout time the bond between me and my father has gotten only stronger and stronger by me making my dad proud to call me his son to me considering myself very lucky considering my
