You Ve Got A Friend In Me By Randy Newman

My mom had surgery for cancer and was in the hospital for a while. My two siblings and I had only our dad to depend on for rides, dinner and obviously regular care, which is a lot for one person to take care of. Luckily, some of our very close family friends stepped up and helped with whatever we needed. This shows how when my family was going through hard times with my mom at the hospital, our extended family and friends each pitched in a little to make the time without my mom less stressful, easier and more of a learning experience. I learned that without my mom, our family might not be very organized for a while, but then we’d eventually figure it out. Because we had family and friends looking out for us, we were able to get through the few weeks without my mom at

At the end of my first grade year, I moved away from the small, rural town near Vienna where I had lived since I was born. On my first day of school at Lincoln Elementary, I quickly made friends with two girls in my class named Pam and Kelly. Pam and Kelly introduced me to their group of friends that were all in our second grade class. For the rest of the school year, this group of friends was who I played on the playground with everyday and talked to in the classroom. After a great first year of school in Marion, the time came for my third grade year. Every year at Lincoln, there is a day that is close to the beginning of the school year where the students can come to the school to meet their new teacher and look at the class list to see which of their friends is in their class. On that morning, I went to Lincoln to find out who my new teacher was. To my dismay, I found out that all of my friends from second grade had a different teacher than I did. After finding out that I was not in class with any of my friends, I knew that I would have to find a new friend to talk to in my third grade class in addition to having all of my friends from second grade. At the beginning of my third grade year, I hung out with two friends I met named Phyllis and Erin. As the year progressed, I started to hang out with Angela who would soon become one of my best

Coming to eighth grade on the first day was slightly scary for me. I was afraid that I wouldn’t have any friends on the same team as me and that I wouldn’t have a class with any friends. When I arrived to the homeroom, school didn’t start off as bad as I thought it would. Apparently I had more than one friend in my homeroom, which made things less awkward for the first time being in class.

Friendship opens our minds to different views and perspectives and change our perceptions. It has the power to change people’s views on life in a positive way. True friends will do anything to keep their friendship alive, no matter the barriers. Potok proves through the friendship of Danny and Reuven that friendship can be achieved no matter the barriers. He proves that friendship is a key value to life through his motif

Starting middle school was a mixture of anxiety and excitement. There was a brand new campus to explore, but we were also nervously anticipating the academic program that was about to begin. Most of my grade had been together since the age of four and by this time there were clear social divides. There were the girls who were seen as popular, and then there was everybody else. You could say that I was part of the popular crowd, though at the time I didn’t notice myself standing apart from the others. As a group of friends we got on well, we’d hang out, go to the cinema, have sleepovers, all the usual things friends do. Then things gradually started to change.

In “Friendship in an Age of Economics” by Todd May, friendship is defined as different types of relationships. Todd May starts the article off with a story of him being in the hospital. A friend of his had come by and sat with him for some time. May then goes into the different types of relationships and friendships. He finishes off the article with this quote, “To be able to sit by the bed of another, watching him sleep, waiting for nothing else, is to understand where else we might be”. This quote is very meaningful because it reflects on one of the true meanings of friendship. You should be able to be with that person regardless of the situation, you should always be there for your friend, and supporting

Walking into Booth Middle School on the first day of seventh grade, all I wanted was a friend. I cared little about whether they would make an impact on my life; as a newcomer to Peachtree City, I was open to befriend anyone. Within the first week, I met Annabelle. I was so preoccupied with the excitement of having a new friend that I was unaware of how greatly she would impact not only my first day, first week, or first year of middle school, but how vastly she would affect my future.

When in a difficult situation, many are faced with a decision: Act selfishly and get no real reward, or act selflessly and get the biggest reward, a friend. Although many would choose the selfish decision but some would not. Chaz Michael Michaels of Josh Gordon and Will Speck’s Blades of Glory Finds that helping those who he cares for is more valuable than any material item can ever

“When you’re up in life, your friends get to know who you are. When you’re down in life, you get to know who your friends are.” - Anonymous. For instance, in the novel Freak the Mighty Max and Kevin demonstrate a strong friendship. To sum up, they were there for each other in the good and bad times. Truly, a good friendship includes trust, teamwork, and having adventures.

People, even the less obvious ones, can be in a difficult situation that they can’t get out of. But, what they don’t know, is that talking about it with a friend can always help. In the stories, “Fish in a Tree” by Lynda Mullaly Hunt and “Inside Out” by Francisco Jimenez, the idea that friendship can always help is portrayed. Ally from “Fish in a Tree” always seems to be in some dilemma with her bullies, Shay and Jessica. Though they are also intimidated by them, her friends, Albert and Keisha, never fail to stay by her side and defend her.

Which is another reason why I plan to pursue a career in the medical field. I have personally witness the many difficulties patients and their family, I being a relative, have encountered. Even when those who are suffering are at their last breath, they manage to do the impossible and survive. From being at the lowest to coming to the top, I see the resiliency people have. Fortunately in my family we have not faced a relative die from a disease or an illness.

The song “You've Got A Friend In Me” by Randy Newman, and the poem, Excerpts from “Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman, can be related by the topic about friendship. See, democracy is important to Walt Whitman, but that also includes friendship, unity, or any other term that one could say that basically means a group effort. So that’s the reason why friendship is a topic here, so with that, let’s go into more detail on the topic. For the poem “Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman, Whitman addresses the reader like a close friend, and his tone is reassuring and non-judgmental. The song “You've Got A Friend In Me” by Randy Newman is also outgoing and friendly, talking nicely about the toys, and that you got a friend on your side, not a foe. So the poem,

My amazing family was supporting me through this challenging time in my life. My father even donated his kidney to me for my transplant. My family is my role models. My sister Crystal, also one of my best friends, was there for me throughout the entire

There are a lot of important things in life. However, one of the most important things for people to survive in this world is friendship. Without friendship, people can die of loneliness. What do you think about your friends? Do you like your friends? There are a lot of different types of friends. There are friends that I like and some friends with whom I do not get along. Friends with positive characteristics such as reliable, trustworthy and faithful whom I usually get along with are the one that tend to have more friends and the negative one whom I usually not get along with tend to be alone. However, friends with negative characteristic can also give us some good examples of seeing double sides of something, like, a character can be
