Every experience has a relative impact on our lives as humans. Experiences can contribute to the pure, simple, and complex emotions of joy, anticipation, courage, confusion, and love. Yet, for a particular experience to be “life-altering” it must have affected a person in a certain way that none-the-less changes their personality or the way that they may live. For me, this experience involved someone important, a totaled car, and a ventilator. He was my boyfriend, not at the time but in recent months, and even more so he was one of my best friends. I have known Bradley since I was in sixth grade. He is a family friend that I ended up spending every summer with alongside my cousins and we became very close through many of those years. We used to ride fourwheelers behind my cousins house, challenge each other in ping-pong and he used to come with my cousin to an annual convention for the Nomad Club. The real reason I met Bradley was through my second cousins who, unlike most, I was very close too. My second aunt and my grandmother are members of the Chevrolet Nomad Association that travels every year to a different state in the middle of July to reunite members and have an annual car show. The first trip that Brad got to go on was in the summer of 2009 to South Dakota and two years later we were dating. The relationship we had was what some refer to as “young love” because we were very young and very unknowledgeable about anything that “dating” incorporated. We loved each
My definition of a friend is someone who is there for you no matter what and even when you fight you never stay mad at each other. A friend is someone who is always there to help you when your struggling and to comfort you when your sad or mad. A friend is someone who is there through everything and not even think about helping you through a tough time just does it. A friend is someone who compromises what you do so your both happy and you can spend time with them. When you need someone to cheer you up when your sad thats what friends are their for. A friend is someone that no matter what fight you have you always stay friends and aren’t mad at eachother for very long and go back to being best friends again. A friend is a good person who always
Friendship is not simply a "relationship", knowing someone, conversing with that person, or dealing with that person in business, school, or in casual acquaintance. True friendship is not just a "relationship", but self-sacrificing love. A friend is also one who supports, sympathizes, and is a person in whom you can confide. There are unique qualities that a person must have to be considered a friend.
Have you ever had someone in your life who helped you figure out who you were? Someone who showed you the right path. Someone who was there right next you even if you did not take that path. Someone who always seemed to be right, but never held it against you when you were not. Someone whom without your life would most likely be entirely different. I have. Her name was Jessica.
I have a friend named Stacey. She is one of the kindest persons I have ever known. Moreover, she is generous, patient and possesses a magnificent sense of humor. We have been through so much together, we are basically sisters. We met on the first day of school in sixth grade, both of us terrified by the massive size of the middle school. Stacey comes from an educated family, her father is a school principal and her mother is also a teacher, so Stacey is known for being punctual, well-educated, and having good manners. She is a member of her church, she sings in the choir, plays the guitar and teaches Sunday school. On Saturdays, she devotes her time feeding the homeless in downtown Dallas. Stacey is selfless because she adopted three girls and cats so they will have a home. Stacey teaches math at an elementary, in fact, she was presented with an award for being teacher of the year. In spite of these qualities, Stacey says she cannot stop eating junk food. Stacey says she does not have time to cook healthy meals, because she has a busy work schedule. Stacey also says healthy food are too expensive and cannot afford to purchase them. Finally, Stacey says she is not disciplined and it is too hard to stick to a healthy food diet. I have some advice for her.
First, let me introduce myself, before I tell you some stories about the teen-aged Mary Deas Frost, my roommate at The Hannah More Academy in Reisterstown, Maryland. We lived together from the fall of 1934 through the spring of 1936, when we graduated and had to go our separate ways.
It’s been one year, can you even believe it? Time really does fly when you’re having fun, and my life with you in it has been nothing short of fun. There are so many things I want to say, but not enough words to express the appreciation I have for you. We’ve been through a lot in this past year. We have enjoyed the ups and endured the downs, but the greatest part of it all is we did it together. We both know our friendship is more than any other friendship you see in the world. Ours is truly special. We are not just best friends, we are sisters. I remember when we were just starting out in this amazing journey how I was insecure and afraid that our friendship would end up like my other past friendships. Me getting left. It never failed you were always there to reassure me I had nothing to worry about. We are sisters, and I’ll never forget the moment where you explained to me what that meant to you. You said this,
Friends will come and go like the leaves of a breezy fall day. But some stick around even on the worst days. As the lights beam down on me at a Shippensburg soccer game with my best friend Izzy, a thought crossed my mind. What if we had never met? All of our memorable adventures we experienced together. Like Black Friday Shopping, Hersheypark, Sky Zone, and our trip to Baltimore together would have never happened. So I'm taken back to that wildcard day in third grade when I met Isabel Soliday.
I was always scared. My heart would pound and I never prepared for the worse, yet it always came to that. I was only a little girl, and I didn’t deserve this at all, but I still let her walk all over me. Everytime she said or did something that hurt me, I tried even harder to impress her with different and exciting ways, instead of standing up for myself. This was my life around my best friend, until recently. I’m getting ahead of myself, so let me rewind a little bit.
I won’t ever forget the road trips my family and I always took to go see my cousins. I remember the long car rides sitting in my car on my ipod playing games, listening to music, and constantly asking how much time we had left on the road . I hated driving on the road especially since i was squished in the back seat with my brother and we no room at all. When we would first get there it was usually around noon and my cousins were never inside the house. They were always outside hanging out either playing basketball or just hanging out inside on of their friends garage.
“A true friend is someone who is there for you when he’d rather be anywhere else.”- Len Wein. Ever since the day Tom got in trouble and had to sit by Becky Thatcher, they became best friends, and even claimed they loved each other. One day when Becky and Tom stopped getting along, Becky sought out to find what the other schoolchildren referred to as the teacher’s secret book. To her great delight, she found the book and began flipping through the many pages. However, while hastily flipping through, Becky tore one of the pages. Tom happened to waltz in at just the right moment and witness this fatal act. She fearfully put the book back in its place begging Tom not to tell, and anxiously awaited the moment the teacher would find it. Once he found his book, torn page and all, the teacher began questioning everyone in the school house if they had done it. In a state of pure petrification, Becky knew she could not lie to the teacher even if she tried, and so she awaited her punishment. Astonishingly, however, Tom noticed the fear, and tragedy in Becky’s eyes, and as the school master neared Becky to confront her, Tom rose up and declared that he tore the book, relieving Becky of her dreaded punishment. Everyone who reads this touching tale, wants Becky and Tom to get along, however, some believe Tom should have taken Becky’s punishment, while others believe he should not have. Despite contrary beliefs, Tom
Did you know that you only need just one friend to make kind of your day, really contrary to popular belief. When I specifically was 14 ½, I met a girl that I have never seen before. We started talking and eventually bonded it was for all intents and purposes weird. I didn’t know what it meant. As we basically grew closer, we started talking about anything and everything. I think I made a really good choice by choosing a friend as good as that in a very major way. I can already for all intents and purposes tell we for the most part are gonna last a sort of long time in life, contrary to popular belief. My best friend particularly makes life for all intents and purposes easier and mostly keeps me out of trouble, or so they kind of thought. It all for the most part started when school literally started back after the summer. I basically got on the bus. On my way to school, I seen this girl sitting on the back of the bus. I kind of noticed that she never was on my bus before. So I particularly decided to specifically go say,” hi.” She literally said ,” hey.” I asked,” are you new here?” She said,”yes.” I said well my name is,” Kenoisha, What’s yours?” She said,”Brianna.” Then we generally started talking about our neighborhood. That we lived in it looked okay from the outside, but don’t let that fool you! In the inside of our neighborhood it”s a hot mess in a major way. We do our best to keep it clean in a big way. After we talked about the neighborhood we particularly begin
After three years have past, I still have a very important friend in my life that I call my brother. This special friend means so much to me that if anything would to happen then I wouldnt be myself. Through the three years, we had our ups and downs, but we always had fun times and the greatest memorys. This important person in my life is named Austin Osborn who is truly a brother to me and means everything to me. “The friends we meet on the path of life make the trip worth while.”
As I enter the small apartment I call my home, I expect to see my best friend waiting. I lock the cold, silvery lock and start talking to my mom. This was the second time I had actually felt like I lost a part of me. Fourth grade brought some tough times, I had one true friend who died a couple weeks later. He would listen but not answer, hate but not fight, and love without showing it. I will always remember the best friend a person could ever have…
I see the school in the distance and quickly head towards the entrance, to be greeted by my one and only friend; Ashley James. More like the only person in the whole world who actually talks to me out of choice. Well, at least without ulterior motives. At first people used to crowd around me, being the daughter of the Beta couple meant that there was a huge chance that I'd be powerful and definitely loaded.
I haven't really done great things with my life but everytime somebody says I won't be able to do something I always prove them wrong.Ever since I was young I always was ahead of the kids my age only because I went through family problems at a young age and sometimes only I could take care of myself. Something that I accomplished and am proud of is that I stopped letting people take advantage of me.
