Definition Essay: My Best Friend

Superior Essays
FIN. In this world, I find many things beautiful, world, nature, laughter, storytelling. Yet the most outstanding beauty I find is in relationships. There are many factors that makes up what we define as a relationship. The manners, traditions, tones, and lastly the feelings and the thoughts towards that person. Have you ever caught yourself, kindly smiling when you see a happy family walking and laughing down the road? Or the times you have a Christmas dinner with family and the wide and long table is boiling with happy spirits and engaging conversations. I find these times beautiful. Additionally, from the material things, I find books beautiful. That leather cover of a first edition print, the fresh smell of the paper that activates your …show more content…
That gives me goosebumps and I love it. Every book is not only unique but also individually speaks to you. I have noticed that sometimes, a book you read defines your personality. For example, I love the Harry Potter series which is where all my crazy imaginations and ideas come from. I’m also obsessed with all of the novels written by Nicholas Sparks, which is where my romantic side kicks in. I could say that all these words have made me who I am today, and it so beautiful to see people bloom. In my family, I was raised to value friendship, enjoy life, and give kindness, if I have the opportunity to do so. To know when to joke and when to be serious. I value friendship, because it helps me to stay afloat in this world. Since my life was based on traveling, I have never really developed true friends through school. I always had to left. During my high school years, I had a bit of a …show more content…
I still watch movie, but not as often as YouTube. Although I spend a good amount of time on YouTube, it is beneficial. I am a self-taught person and YouTube is wonderful for people like me. When I was around fifteen I received my first guitar, through “GarageBand” on my MacBook and YouTube, I’ve learned to play any compositions, and wrote a couple of my own. I’ve learned fundamentals, chords, proper techniques, yet I’ve spent zero dollars. I had many resources to choose from on the platform. Even if we take the current girls trend, which is makeup, YouTube plays the majority of the role of educating them. If I wanted to learn how to do makeup, the first tool I would turn to is YouTube. So to say, watching videos on YouTube is not a waste of time, it educates people who cannot afford the expensive classes. These videos, also inspire viewers to go and set goals. I cannot speak for all the videos out there, but form what I have watched, I see the good message they send to the viewers. The massages like “Don’t be afraid” or “You will regret tomorrow, that you could have started today!” Very motivational and good. There are plenty of unhealthy things in this world, but if people spend time on videos that motivate them and give them strength, they will be more productive and confident in life, because they see that anyone can do it. Speaking for myself, I believe that YouTube is a

At that age, I didn’t have many kids my own age that I’d see regularly so I was really excited to make new friends. The more the merrier!…

    The concept of friendship is both odd and extraordinary at the same time. The majority of people on this earth want to be surrounded by other people who think like them, talk like them, and agree with them. Most people look for friends as someone who will listen, give advice or basically go out to have a good time with. That being said, people also look for friends as someone who they can connect to. For example, one day I was playing basketball for my church team, when a new kid from Texas showed up and wanted to play.…

    Was there ever a time you didn’t like to do something, but as you got older you started to love it more than you did as a child? When I was younger, I never liked to read, but now as I have gotten older, I read more and more different kinds of books and novels. My mother put my sister and me into a reading program in elementary school because our reading levels were lower than they should be. There were no criteria so we read books that were interesting to us, like the Given Tree by Shel Silverstein and Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White. When we finished reading them we would go around and talk about the book we read.…

    We all listened to the same bands, loved the same teen heartthrob, and all had a similar personality. It took losing a core group of friends of mine transitioning into freshman year to show me that it’s okay to be your own person. I will say freshman year was a huge struggle for me to go through without being friends with the people that I had grown closest to in the 8th grade and years prior to 9th grade, but in the long run it has benefitted me more than I could have ever imagined that year. I now am not afraid to be alone sometimes and not always hang out with a group of people or one person every weekend. I’m okay with spending time by myself just relaxing in my room or grabbing some lunch at bread co by myself when I can.…

    Best friends are the only thing in the world that stick by your side through the hard spells no matter what is occurring. They are the ones that tell you that look great in the morning, speak up for you when you do not, make you smile when no else can and they are the ones that love you for who you are. Best friends are a rarity just like diamonds and during my freshmen year of high school I met strangers that would soon become a fragment of myself and my family. These girls changed my life for the better and they were the most important thing to me. They taught me how to be happy, confident, and to be true to myself which were all foreign concepts during that awkward stage of my life to me like speaking Chinese.…

By using the class time to answer questions about confusing topics in the lecture, it creates a better understanding of the information in the lecture.
