One Day Changed My Life Essay

Improved Essays
Who knew that one day would change my life forever? I thought that it was going to be just an average Saturday night until I heard my phone, and I had received a text message from a friend of mine. At the time we were not all that close, and we pretty much just talked inside of school. Little did I know that we would become inseparable the very next day. The text message said, "Can you come over for dinner tonight?" I asked my mom, and she told me that I could not go, because she did not know my friend 's mom.

    Re-becoming friends in high school was one of the best things that has ever happened to me, because it meant I got to keep such an incredible person in my life.
