Have you ever tried to help out your bestfriend and failed? Well I did that and it did not turn out too well. It was just a normal school day sitting in my 7th period Personal Family Health class, so I thought anyways.
It was second semester of my freshman year. Sitting in a small, dungeon like room, smelling the musty school air. I was looking at all the decorative, colorful posters for the thousandth time. Yes, Mr. Bork, the posters did make the room look more inviting. My best friend, Ellie Beitelspacher, sat in front of me. I thought everything was going good.

Details may not seem to be that important when telling a story from a childhood experience or maybe the retelling of a joke, but what if a person was made to recall a memory that took place six weeks ago?…
