Personal Narrative : My Best Friend

"Then be ready my boy, we will be leaving for New York in the evening in our private jet, and we will be meeting jade and her family there" a big smile grew on my face with that dad stood from his seat giving me a wink and left my cabin without waiting for my reply.

Its a combo of a few things for me. First I started by downloading the app "Myfitness Pal" by underarmer (the free one of corse). There you plug in your current weight and then your goal weight, and it give you a "calorie limit" to kind of start off with. Then I did some research on healthier breakfast and lunch choices (leaving dinner to eat shit food lol but within the calorie limit). So for example I would eat oat meal for breakfast with almond milk instead of regular milk, or toast with avocado instead of a bagel with butter. I also carried that into my lunchs at work (let alone I started packing them, so that really helped). But for the first moth or so I wouldn't change my dinners, on the amount, to stay within the calorie limit, this way I could still enjoy food I wasn't willing to give up.

We left Garberville, CA at 5 a.m. We knew it would be a long haul ahead of us. I slept on the floorboard of the back seat of Holly’s truck for the first couple of hours. Holly was a funny outgoing and straight to the point person. Along with us were my Mom and Dad, Dylan(Holly’s husband) and there two kids Ashley and Clayton. Dylan was a tall red head that is always the life of the party. Ashley was a short dirty blonde girl that loves her horses. And Clayton, clayton was just like his dad a big built red hair with blue eyes and super outgoing. Finally were my parents. My Mom and Dad we both very active outgoing people who got along great with Dylan and Holly and their kids so we knew it was going to be a fun week in Winnemucca. We

“Oh, baby. I’m so glad your home,” Miles whispered, his voice hitching mid sentence. “I missed you so much. I just can’t believe you’re really here. We never stopped looking, never,” he murmured against her

When he sat down with us Ava wanted him to tell her a story so he did as he started to tell the story Ava laid out across mine and his lap and while he told me and her the story of his wife and why he is moving back to America “ the reason that I am moving back to America is because my wife lived in America and now she has pasted away I am going to her funeral she was my world and now she is gone I don't know what I am going to do without her I loved her so much.” he went on and on and on and on until we both finally fell asleep. “ Audi Audi! Get up! Get up! I need to go to the bathroom.” So I got up and walked her to the bathroom the line was so long I thought that I would never get her in there. The line for the girls was right next to the line for the guys and I had my head down looking at Ava and this man walked up to me he was about 18 the same age as me and he tapped me on the shoulder and said “ Hi my name is George is this your daughter?” I looked at her with tears and my eyes and replied “ no I am only 18 years old this is my sister her name is Ava and my name is Audi.” he stood there for a second and then spoke once again “ do you care that if we ever get out of these lines I can come with my little bother Jay

The news was even more amazing than I could ever image… at least that's what I thought at that time. He was going to start going to school in my high school with me! As the end of summer approached Marco and I had been spending more and more time together. Our relationship was growing stronger and stronger, as we were growing closer and closer. As summer drew to an end, the beginning of a new school year drew closer and closer every day. I couldn’t help but imagine how great high school was going to be for me!

My involvement with Best Buddies and UT SEEK (Student Engineers Educating Kids) has strengthened my appreciation for people of different backgrounds and conditions.

My heart dropped when I learned that Lester and I may be alone again tonight. I hoped I could control myself as Shay pulled out of the driveway. I stayed silent and didn’t say a word until we were almost to my mother’s place.

Jay: Yeah I love you too mom, I was so excited that I got the part and I wanted to share the good news with her so bad. I have audition twice before for a leading role and I never got it until now.

Once I got there, I heard my Mom yelling my name to come back. I bitterly walked back to my campsite. ”Mom I want to hang out with Ashley” I dolefully said.

“ I am taking Blake to Ryan Ford's birthday party it started at 12 not 12:30 I will be right back go inside and turn on the TV,and make sure to shoot the garage and lock the door.! love ,Mom.

"Well, now you know there is someone who cares about you. Listen, I was wondering if you'd like to go to a NHSO concert with me this Saturday. It's at 7:00 p.m. and I have two tickets. Also, they are featuring the movie "Singing in the Rain" and performing the soundtrack live! My mom has to go to work and my brother doesn't want to go, so...I would love to go with you." Brett informed me, in an extremely enthusiastic voice.

Josh and Ava stopped walking. Ava slowly turned to face Josh with hopelessness in her bright but sad brown eyes. Josh looked at her, seeing her for all that she was; sarcastic, confident, honest, and it hurt him physically and emotionally. The two became inseparable while working and living together at camp; sharing laughs, fears, dreams, but it was over. Much like anything, the summer did not last. Neither one of them expected to have such a close connection, but they did. Josh opened his arms and drew closer to Ava. He wrapped his strong arms around her, pulling her in. With hardly any strength, Ava lifted her arms to barely reciprocate the action. They just stood there. Inhaling the moment with all that they could in hopes it would last forever. Ava would never let go if she could, and Josh knew that and eventually dropped his arms. Ava felt as if life had left her body, only leaving her feeling overwhelmed with sadness. Ava looked up at Josh like a child and gently said, “Don’t forget about me”. It was the most devastating sentence ever

how it’s done. Make me proud, as always.” His dad had been his biggest role model all of his life. Jalen was blessed to have parents like them. He could not recall a time that his parents missed one of his basketball games or any other event. It was annoying when he was young, it wasn’t cool when your parents were always around, but now he appreciated their presence. Jalen and Alyssa talked to mom and dad for a couple of minutes before they had to leave their house to head over to UCLA for the game. They wished him good luck and told him they love him like they always did. Alyssa leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, “Okay babe, go get ready. I’ll clean the food

It was Tuesday, July 18th. I was a nervous wreck. In desperate need of clothes to wear to impress... her. I begged my best friend Todd to join me at Woodfeild mall. He gave in and we went. Todd and I shopped for hours. Nothing looked good enough for...her. We were running out of time. I made-do with four short sleeve shirts from Champs and two pairs of sweatpants shorts from h&m. The total came out seventy dollars. We walked out and got into Todds car. I was shaking the entire ride home. Will she like it? Am I going to look fat? What about my acne? What if she doesn’t end up liking me? Nothing else crossed my mind as we pulled up to my house and I was dropped off. There was around an hour and a half until I had to leave. I walked inside
