My Best Friend Buddy : My Best Friend

I walked away feeling like I was a complete failure and that I didn’t deserve to go on. On the way home my mother tried to talk to me, but, I put on my headphones and cried silently. Once we were home my father asked how it went. The tears that were in my eyes and they became more evident as my shoulders and chest were shaking and trembling. The only sound in the room was the sound of me crying and wailing. I started crumbling and falling to the ground and my mother and father rushed to my side. They held me until the tears came to a stop and a little bit afterwards

That day it went by to fast my brother and I tried spending as much time as I could with my dad. That night I went to bed sad I didn’t know if i would wake up in time to say goodbye to him. That morning I woke up and ran to see if my dad was still here. I ran into the kitchen first where I saw him eating ready to leave. He said that they were going to pick him up in ten minutes. Next thing you know we here a knock on the door. I went to answer the door it was some men in uniforms they were there to pick my dad up. My dad said goodbye to us I started to cry when he was leaving and so did my brothers and mom.

The night felt like forever, I just wanted to get out of that apartment I did not want to stay there anymore. School that morning could not come soon enough, I hate school but anything to get me out of that situation I was ready to go. Once arriving at school I realized how hard it was going to be to focus. What kind of dad just ups and leaves? What is mom going to think about this? I should

My strongest memory is from when I was in kindergarten. I had to move to a different school. My mom had started going to Cosmetology School in Poplar Bluff. Before we moved I gave my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Long, a green stuffed poodle.

I was seven years old and it was in the middle of the summer and I almost got run over by a car. The day was going really good just like any other summer day; I got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, and went outside to play. For breakfast that day we had pancakes that tasted like they were made by angels. Before Chris and I went outside our mom yelled, “Be back by lunch or I’m going to send your dad out there to get you!”

It was a normal school day at Brookhurst Jr. High in 7th Period were my friends and I were talking and waiting for the bell to ring so we could all go home and the school day would be over. Before I left I needed to go to the bike racks to get my skateboard so I could ride it home.

The next morning when we got up we expected Rascal to still be up stairs but he wasn’t. So we all started getting worried but it turns out my mom brought him downstairs. So we went got ready and went to school. I was in 7th grade I think and well that was

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

Anyways, school didn’t mean much to me the only thing I could think about how excited I was because I have waited for this day for I don’t even know how long. School goes by in a flash and then we head to the library for Mrs.Cornek’s 7th period social studies class and just about 15 minutes into the class I see my mom but I didn’t think that it was her at first. At first I didn’t even realize her but I then figured it out after she was waving her hands up and down and screaming SAMMY J in front of all my friends and embarrassing me. I begin to wonder why she was here but not for long because I then hear the loudspeaker go off about 30 seconds after she arrived and it announces “ Can we have Sam Josselyn to the office prepared to leave.” All of my friend begin to ask me where am I going but I didn’t have an answer I had no idea. I rush out of the classroom excited I get to leave because it was a snore fest and I was so ready to leave the second I got there. I immediately run up to her and give her a hug and thank her for saving me. As we are walking to the car I ask her where are we going and she said we are going to get your nails done, get your hair done, get your makeup done, and your eyebrows. I don’t say anything not even a thank you just a really big excited smile that I only have gotten when I was 7 and got the American girl doll that I

Third grade, a year, most of us don't recall. A year too inadequate for our young brains to recollect every moment in great detail -- especially when far more memorable events exist in life. However, there is one memory that took place during recess in third grade. I will never forget

I was in third grade at the time. It was the Friday before spring break. My mom woke me up in the morning. After she woke me up I got ready for school. Before I got done getting ready for school my mom had to leave for work. I hugged her and told her that I loved her, then she was off to work. When I was done getting ready I went down stairs and ate breakfast. Then I hurried and ran outside with my brothers to where the bus was waiting. The bus ride to school seemed like it took forever. When I got to school I was so happy to see my friends and get to class. The school day seemed like it was only an hour long. It went by so fast. The bus ride home was always the best part of the day besides math class. It only took us fifteen minutes to get home from school.

I saw the school and then we pulled in. I walked in with my mom, gripping her hand tight as i could. When we walked in there were kids everywhere and i noticed i wasn’t the only kid who was scared and gripping their moms hand. So i felt a little more comfortable. A bell rung and i guess that meant it was time to go to class. My mom walked me down the hall to Mrs.Laura’s class. When i saw every kids parent in there i felt alot better. But then what made me feel even better was that i saw stacey, my moms best freind. And standing right beside her was my best friend ryan. My mom and stacey started chatting and i started talking to ryan. Me and him have been best friends since birth and it was best feeling i have ever had that me and him were in the same

Having my dad around all the time wasn’t my everyday routine. I’d see him once or twice a week so I wasn’t very much used to see him every day. One day I came home after school and he and my mom were on the balcony talking, the notice I was staring, they both looked at me and called for a family meeting by the tone of their voices I could tell there was

One foggy morning I woke up and got ready for school. Last night my two friends Kameron and Noah stayed with me. We stayed up until 4 o’clock in the morning, we were very tired. We are on our way out the door to catch the bus and when we get out there, we notice that the bus had already passed. I can already tell that dad is going to be mad.

I started Kindergarten at Roosevelt Elementary. There was a annoying, chunky kid, who cried every single time he got to the classroom. As soon as he entered the room, he would start screaming, so his mom would take him home. I’m not sure whatever happened to him. After kindergarten year, I started going to Hoover. I went there from first grade until halfway through third grade. One of my favorite memories was in January of 2010. It was when I got my first dog. She was a blue nosed Pit Bull named Pebbles. My parents never told me they were getting a dog, so I was surprised to be woken up at five in the morning to a fat, two-month-old puppy licking my face. Still half asleep, I asked my mom whose dog it was, and when she said it was ours, I became
