reflect back on my high school life I realize that I have no regrets. My life would have been completely different if it were not for my best friends and my family. I have known my best friend Maya since the 3rd grade. Usually friendships like that do not last but luckily our relationship gets stronger as we grow older. My other best friend, Aurora, I got to know her in middle school and all three of us have been inseparable since. I honestly believe that if I had not been friends with them I would…
Especially if that person is your best friend. Sure, I have a lot of pals now, but Aaron Klein has been my best friend for almost eight years. This is our story. Third grade was the start of it all. Aaron and I had seen each other around before, but it never came to anything. We both had Mrs. Gregory for third grade. Sometime near the middle of the year Mrs. Gregory assigned a new seating chart. Slightly discouraged, since I was a shy kid, I slowly maneuvered my desk to my new place in the room. I sat…
Andrea and Linda are my best friends, they are the most terrific woman I know, yet they couldn’t be more different from each other. Each of them is successful at their jobs, both have nice homes, and they are both beautiful with fantastic style. However that is where their similarities end. Their priorities are different from each other. Andrea is all about her family however, Linda is dedicated to her job right now. Their styles are so different that they don’t regularly share any beauty…
It was years ago, in the fifth grade, thirty-two students. My class was small with pictures of school events and projects all around. Me a small, black haired kid, and my best friend Maria. Our school has a few fifty to sixty classrooms, each a dull grey and dark blue color. My best friend came up to me with eyes that said “I’m sorry” and a quivering lip that looked as she was in pain as she hugged me, I hugged back. It felt warm, but I knew something was amiss. Maria was the type of person to always…
the person who has impacted me in a number of ways. This person became my first true friend. Although it has been nearly 11 years since I met her, I remember it like it was yesterday. We met on Halloween in the year 2004 while my twin sister Jessica and I were out trick-or-treating. We were almost ready to wrap it up for the night, but we decided to make a final stop at the house across the street. When we got there, however, my friend’s mother answered the door and first apologized because they were…
School with my ponytail held high and my Pumas skipping down the hall. A smile hogged over half of my face. I was so happy. In that moment, I had never experienced a true challenge. I did not know what it was like to be anything but happy; like I said, it was an ordinary life. In this life, my best friends in the whole world were: my twin sister, Noelle; Sophia,and her twin sister; Rachel. We experienced life together, we loved each other. My family and friends were so happy. After my bestfriends…
"Hey, want to hear a new pickup line I heard," I questioned my best friend Kylie. She had been acting kind of weird lately and I wanted to do my best to cheer her up. Kylie tried her best to smile, "S-Sure, Rose." I grinned already proud of the pick-up line I was about to say. "Is there an airport nearby, or is that my heart taking off?" I said in the sultriest voice I could manage. Kylie blushed and turned her head away from me. Her hands were wildly fidgeting in her lap as she gazed around;…
I woke up from my fanciful dream, flipped over on my bed and looked at my phone and couldn’t believe that today has finally came. Today is the day that my life will forever change with greatness that I will be soon married to the man of my dreams. I vaulted out of my bed, slid into clean clothes and quickly got ready to meet up with my maid of honor Roxy. Her hair was a rich shade of mahogany with golden highlights. The natural flow of her wavy hair perfectly framed her cream-coloured skin. Her eyes…
classes, the only friend I still had was Brandon, the boy who once saved me. Acting as a parental figure, I looked up to him for everything, depending on him for any problems I had. In fact, he was the one who taught me to listen to everyone 's problems. However, on March 3rd, 1995, an event occurred that scarred me for life. As school finished, I got ready to go to the park like I always did. I was already in 2nd grade, and was trusted to walk by myself to the park. Because my parents were working…
to see my mom running to the home phone that used to sit on the desk in the laundry room. It rang three times before my mom answered. The second time was around 12:30 in the afternoon. After answering that call, my mom was crying. Before hanging up the phone I could overhear her say “thank you, I will let her know.” Suddenly that bright, sunny morning didn’t seem so bright anymore. I had lost my best friend. It was at my house for one of my mom’s friendly get togethers with her friends from work…
