The Definition Of Friendship

Friendship is everything, as humans we strive for relationships and build friendships. A friendship with who is now my best bud started way back in September 2011. Jack was the new kid in Mrs. Hudwalker’s homeroom, but this is not when we became friends. It was late September and I was feeling very tense about the day ahead of me. My mom was forcing me to go to her school reunion and what do you know, My mom went to school with Jacks mom. I was humiliated that my mom was more or less forcing a playdate, “Mom I’m thirteen I don’t need you to set up playdates for me. I’m completely capable of doing it myself.”. My mother and I arrived at the Picnic before my new “Friend” Jack. When Jack arrived I actually got a look of how tall he was compared …show more content…
Anytime you are able to get away from the county and your school with some friends is a great time. During spring break of our freshman year we made another trip out to our cabin in Piedmont. The brutally cold water eliminated swimming and fishing from our stuff to do while at the cabin. Jack and I were accompanied by our mutual friend Mackenzie Kersting. The three of us made the best of our trip. Because of the lack of stuff to do we had to improvise a lot of activities. Luckily I came prepared with a ton of fireworks, more then enough to last the trip. Jack made a video of the whole weekend, all of the joking around and fireworks, we can still sit around and laugh at the fun weekend. Mother Nature chased us out of Piedmont with immense amounts of snow. This snow may have kicked us out of our camping trip but it did not ruin the fun Jack and I would have over our spring vacation. Once we made it back into St.Louis I went over to Jacks. Unlike most people we went outside and made an igloo. I felt as if I was an eskimo, in Antarctica building my home with my best bud. This igloo was pretty tight, it didn 't have multiple rooms or anything but my fifteen year old body could fit inside. Even though my Spring break may have felt like a Winter break it was still great to spend time with my best …show more content…
To start off our Summer vacation Jack and I head up to Hannibal Missouri with my father. We decided to celebrate the end of the school year by going shooting some of my families firearms. Bing, Bing, Bing. Because this is Jacks first time shooting a firearm we decided to warm up for the celebration with the consistent fire of my .22 long rifle. After we shoot this we take a step up to my family revolver, seeing Jack with an old time double action revolver makes him look like a cowboy from the Wild West. After we warmed up it was time to start off the summer with a bang, it was time to break out 12 gauge shotgun, this was interesting. Once Jack and I got home from our Summer kick off we head back to Saint Louis. When we were getting into the Summer heat we really realized how hot the Summer really was. Jack and I both had full heads of long hair and decided to go get haircuts together, this was a big change for us because it seems like we 've always had long hair. With our short hair, looking like totally different people we spent more time outdoors. Jack and I make another trip to Piedmont. This trip is the most recent to me and was my favorite trip. We would wake up early to go to the river and swim until our shoulders were stained brown. While Jack and I were fishing the river we noticed snakes near our fishing spot. We did not think anything of the snakes as we watched bluegill and bass
