Descriptive Essay About A Friend

Improved Essays
Jack and Liam have been my childhood friends for elementary, middle and high school. I met jack in the second grade. I was a shy, foreign kid from Florida trying to make some new friends in a school that had preschool through 12th grade. I knew I was going to stay at the school until a graduated so I tried my best to fit in. Jack was the first one to introduce himself to me. We bonded like we’ve known each other for years. As we grew up into the 5th grade, many new classmates joined the class, but there was one new kid that stood out from the others. Jack and I went over to familiarize ourselves with this kid. Jack did most of the talking because no one could understand me with deep Spanish accent. He told us his name was Liam and we all know …show more content…
Jack would be that guy, who would keep piling stuff up from school, work, home, girlfriend and not enjoy life. He is a major procrastinator. He will always think to himself “I’ll do it on the weekend when I have time”. When the time comes he pushes that aside and things starts to get over whelming with either homework, trouble at his job or with his girlfriend, and worst of all, paying bills for his apartment. His room is always a mess. Clothes thrown everywhere, crumbled up papers everywhere, even his car was filled with so much junk, I don’t know how he hasn’t gotten pulled over for it. The kitchen looked nasty filled with stains and weird smells. The dishes looked like they haven’t been washed in months. In the end he always finds a way to work it out though. Now Liam is the complete opposite of Jack. When you look at Liam you don’t see a smart, organized, intelligent man. But I do. He is organized not just for enjoyment. He has a reason. He likes living in a comfortable environment. All his clothes are hanged and folded nicely. His room looks like a suite at the holiday inn. He is very good when it comes down to finances and organizing a spreadsheet. I think he gets that from his mom because she is an accountant. He likes to keep his daily tasks organized like a to-do list: wake up, shower, breakfast, work, pick up little sister, etc. If our group of friends plans a trip, you can rely on Liam for directions, hotels and destinations. He never ceases to amaze me on how organized his life. I can see him becoming president because he knows a lot about politics too. But I think he’s going to follow in his moms
