Importance Of My Best Friend For Life

Improved Essays
In the winter of 2015 I met my best friend Anisa Henry she had all the significant good qualities a best friend for life had. She was charming, intelligent, compassion, and a goal to become a doctor. Ever since I met her I’ve always been on my top game because I have always assumed our friendship was built on each other academic successes that would be the spinal cord to the gates of glory we call college. During the months we were developing our friendship I was excelling in all my classes including the ones I use to struggle with in the past. I wouldn’t blame her for my success but she was that extra push I was missing. She wasn’t my cheerleader nor my mother, but I felt as though I was in a race with so much adrenaline coursing through …show more content…
I on the other hand was number one of my class that whole year and finished all of my state testes along with my core classes. As a good friend I tried to catch her up to my speed by tutoring her or creating a schedule to submit all of her assignments, so she may finish more credits in a limited amount of time. Nothing I did worked so I decided that in order for me to graduate with my partner in success I had to slow my pace. I stretched my remaining credits as far as I can so therefor I would still be ahead but not too far from the credits she was remaining. As months went by my family and the staff of my school noticed that my pace has decreased dramatically to the point that my window for early graduation was closing like snowing falling from Florida’s clouds it was bond to die before it’s chance to …show more content…
From my freshman year in 2014 I always considered graduating in your senior year was for slackers, stars that didn’t want a brighter future but to be dim souls bond to die and be forgotten. I was a bit disappointed that a categorize myself as a slacker but that was the honest truth and I wouldn’t lie to save my soul which was now dimming. Dimming of my soul affected my personal life by making me procrastinate on getting my driver license and finishing two high school electives that I should've demolished last year in 2017. The sad thing about my senior year is that my best friend was the reason I dimmed my soul, she never asked me to risk anything for her but I always made her my extra push. I always had the stamina to complete everything I set myself to achieve I just loved having my partner in success with

    GROWING UP Growing up, I didn’t have many luxuries, if any. The best thing I had was being a 5 minute walk away from a convenience store. The house I grew up in was infested with cockroaches and was falling apart within the walls. The dining room was so small, some of us had to eat on the floor. We only had three bedrooms, so my three younger siblings had to sleep in the living room.…

    A dilemma that I faced, and still am facing is simply the decision about what I want to do with my life after my high school career. In my freshman year of high school my goal was simply to get through the year in one piece. I was forced to conform to my new environment and all the strict rules that came along with it. Along with that it was the sudden transition from being the "big dogs" as eighth graders at my middle school to being "fresh-meat" in my first year high school. With so much attention placed on me as a freshman like on the varsity basketball team, where I was constantly forced to prove my worth to the coach and the players, to stepping out of my comfort zone and performing in a mandatory play for the rest of the the school as…

    In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…

    Four years ago, I found myself beaming out at the audience at my high school graduation, standing before my friends and family, and accepted the slip of paper I’d been working so hard for the last four years - my high school diploma. As I walked off the stage, I felt almost overwhelming joy at the thought of heading off to the next chapter of my life - college. Growing up I have faced many challenges, from the difficulties of growing up as a young African American man, to coming to terms with my own sexuality throughout high school. I primarily attribute my successes to my mother, an educator herself, who always inspired a culture of learning in my home. I never anticipated finding myself watching those friends who I once shared a stage with, now all graduating college without me.…
