My Best Friend : A Personal Experience : My Best Friend

Every single individual has a set of values that are dear to them and and as individuals we tend to live our lives by these particular standards or principals and we all find things to have different levels of importance. The values i chose include friendship, happiness, dedication, adventure/exploration and curiosity.

Friendship is universal. It can bridge societal gaps of gender, race, social class, and differences in abilities. College is a time of personal growth, and friendships have a tremendous impact on the development and experiences of an individual. Through Best Buddies, college students and adults in the community with disabilities have the opportunity to share friendships. These relationships bring people of all abilities, interests, and talents together, as equals and as friends. I chose to look at these friendships

On a Thursday afternoon ,my friends and I were supposed to meet up at one of my friend’s house. Little did I know that I would have to make a decision that would put my parents trust at risk. Once I got to my friend's house, I saw two of my friends standing outside and they were holding a poster with roses. There I was, standing in front of my friends looking at a question on the poster .

I have been through so much, but nothing bothers me worse than loosing friends or family. Last year on April 7, 2015 I drove home from school never expecting to hear the news announce one of my closest friends reason of death. Alexis Reed Haywood was in a car accident at the age of seventeen. It was one of the worst days of my life, and I will never forget how I reacted. I did not believe it at all, and seriously thought it was a crazy dream, or joke till the next day. Even now I still don't process it through my head like others do, and I don't think my mind will let a day go by without thinking about her. I will never forget

“Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness."[Euripides]. This quote means a lot to me because this is what I have in my friend. This is suitable on my best friend. She always supports me in my troubles of life. Life become easy if we have this kind of friends in our life. I met to Jasdeep about two years ago. Now we are living together. She is my sister-in law as well. She never treats me as a sister- in law. We always talk like good friends. I started to communicate with her after my engagement in 2016. When I came from India and It was totally different life here. But because of her, I never felt uncomfortable.

I was born on September 15, 2001 in Martinez, CA. I have only one other sibling which is my older brother by three years. Both of my parents have been involved in my life since I was born and I can’t think of time they weren’t there for me.

To start, I really enjoyed this assignment, it gave me a ton of validation in the growth and self transformation I have been working on in these last few years. About two years ago I really hurt someone that I deeply cared about and it sent me into this spiral of questioning who I was and what I stood for. It felt like I had lost my morals and I was now on a path of rediscovery. I was also taking Professor Bess’s Being Human class at the time so there was a lot of introspective learning in that environment as well. I decided to ask my best friend of 10 years, Marnie, my best friend from my Israel program, Yossi, my “love/hate” friend from the same Israel program, Julian, and my best friend from Goucher, Kira. Each of these people have seen me through some of my worst times and share my same blunt honesty.

Today we gather to mourn the death of our beloved friend Edward Honda. To many of us he was a friend and to some a brother and to others a son, but to me he was my best friend we went through so much together and I’m gonna tell you what we did in detail right now. Don’t be alarmed by some of things we did I just want to get this off my chest. It was 1955 I had just spent 12 years in jail and was finally out; and you know who picked me up? It was Edward, he picked me up from prison and brought me to his apartment. This is where things started to go downhill. He told me, “Ay Vito Mi casa tu casa” “Haha I don’t want to be a bother Edward” “It's no problem I’ve got a stable job now” “Good man, I was worried you’d still be in deep.” “I am, I’m just with an organization now.” “What!?, I thought you were getting out.” “No I never said I was done, you did, besides I want you to join me Vito, these are good people.” I respond reluctantly, “Fine” Edward says, “Okay good I’ll take you to them tomorrow.” Fast forward a day and Edward takes me to an old coffee shop on 3rd and 4th. Here I meet Steven Clemente. “I’ve heard good things about you Vito, Edward tells me you're a good man, and he tells me you want into the mafia.” “Yeah…” I say. He says, “Okay well you gotta prove yourself first I need you to head down to the docks, I got a guy who works down there who I lended some money and he hasn’t paid me back yet.” I say, “Okay well what do you want me to do Mr. Clemente?” Steven

Because of an experience with a friend I learned that often times some people tend to prejudice me before they even get to know me.

July, 16th, 2017, I met some amazing kids. Of many different ages. When we first saw each other, it was kind of awkward between us because we've never met. Breona, my best friend that was there with me, already knew these kids from when she met them last year, so it was different for her. Even though we had never met, they were still very excited to see me. I introduced myself, “Hey! I'm Faith!”. That was followed by all the kids, mostly the girls, telling me their names and introducing themselves. “Ashlynn, Kristen, Brooke, Mckenna” were the names I was told. I tried my hardest to not look at them in a “feeling sorry” kind of way. Which was a difficult task to do.

As a child growing up you meet many people that you like. Everyone tends to make your day from the kind stranger whom gave you a dollar at the grocery store to your neighbor that lets you pet their dog. As I’ve gotten older I’ve grown to love people more than like. Moreover, I have made many long term friends and continue to do so. I’ve always been a social person so making good quality friends has never been a problem. As my mom would say, “I have never met a stranger.” Now that I am a freshman in college and making more friends than ever. Although I’ve only been here for three weeks, I have a large circle of friends that I like very much. Since then, the circle has gotten smaller. Now, there is one person that I do like the most, Vanessa Rodgers.

“In life have a friend that is like a mirror and a shadow; Mirror doesn't lie and a shadow never leave.” By an anonymous person. Human beings are social creatures. They needs a person to talk to, a person that one can trust. For many people that person is a friend. A friend is a person that one knows and has a mutual bond with. As stated in the quote above, a friend is someone who will tell one the truth and never leave one's side. Having this person, can help one with many things in one's life. The effects of having a best friend on oneself are seen through; the fresh perspective, feeling connected and unwavering support a best friend brings.

When I was in sixth grade, I had no friends. Simple as that, nobody really liked me. I sat with two of my friends at lunch that I’d been friends with since forever. But most of my friends from elementary school just stopped talking to me. They became popular, while I definitely did NOT. I was super nerdy and more of a try-hard than I am today. I came across as kind of self-absorbed and full of myself. But, really, more than anything I was lonely. I pushed away what I wanted most. I just wanted friends.

Growing up I have always wanted to have friends everywhere. Being friendly has always been a must even to those who were not always nice back to me. I grew up having friends in all places and I even had friends that belonged to different cliques in school. I was always the nice girl but one day I realized that not everyone thought of me as a friend. The day that I was bullied was the worst day because I heard some rude words directed towards me, I had to talk about it, and I had to realize new things around me. Not everyone is going to like you but you need to learn how to blow it off and live your life.
