Improved Essays
Smart, intellectual intelligent, capable of achieving the most hardest assignments possible, and a great capacity to reason. these are all characteristics that are featured in my best friend Gabriella Garza. We met at an eighth grade dance at Freeport Intermediate School that was being held towards the end of the year. Ever since then, we have been very close throughout our high school years at Brazosport High School. I would say that I am in debt to her because she is practically the only person who has taught me to keep on trying, move forward, be first in everything like her, to not wait and ask questions, and do what's right for me.

Another fact about the show is that every single character is based off someone that Cristela Alonzo knows (Saraiya, 2014).…
