Best Friend of Charleston

rider, she rode bus to and from school everyday along with her best friend Sean. She and Sean were inseparable since the day they met in preschool. When Tekica got made fun of because of her name. Sean always stood up for her, he always stood by her side, and she always did the same for him. Within the years of friendship, they both built a strong bond towards each other. They also learned from each other. "You know you 're best friends when they buy you food for no reason." Sean said walking…

basketball by speeding up my reflexes using drills my basketball coach taught me for basketball season. I could shave ten seconds off my 5K time for cross country. Then, I will be able to make varsity. Branching out with my friend group and possibly make a few -two or three- friends in each class is something else I can try. Also, challenging myself to stay in a positive mindset this week and next week as I continue through my first two weeks of high school is another possibility. By continuing…

How I Know I Matter To My Friends Over the years I have become really good friends with a lot of people. However, I have two friends that absolutely mean the world to me and they will tell you the same thing. These two guys are named Jacob Bullock, and Will McCoy. They both went to a rival school “West Jones” while I went to Laurel High. Will and I met each other as soon as we started kindergarten. We both went to Saint Johns for elementary school. After 6th grade we were separated but stayed…

came into my life, things started changing for the better. Shortly after we got married, I was able to update my status. Just a year later we were on our way to visit the rest of my family in Poland. This was our honeymoon and honestly, one of the best trips of my life. My husband never traveled to Europe before, and I was excited to show and teach him about my country and culture. Despite the language barrier, my whole Polish family fell in love with my husband, and he quickly came to love them…

Jin vs. Junior A part of growing up is changing and accepting yourself for who you are. Although transferring to a new school may be inevitable how you handle this experience is what counts in the end. Everyone goes through a series of events that either change your life in a favorable way or unacceptable way when being apart of two cultures. In this case Junior and Jin must both battle with many different problems because they are trying to find an identity while being apart of two different…

With rain ferociously pounding the roof of our vehicle and sharp bolts of lightning illuminating the sky, we bounced along as the primitive roads struggled to maintain their shape. The six-hour drive was not much of a warm welcome to the country—weaving through the severely impoverished urban areas near the airport, then tossing its passengers about in a tropical thunderstorm. While our van climbed to the Haitian central plateau and several of my team member’s stomachs surged with motion…

appreciated. As we get to the church we were heading to I was getting nervous. I was just nervous to see everyone. I kept telling myself not to cry. I walk into where everyone was and it is very awkward. Everyone was expressing their grief for our dear friend Levi different. Some were crying, some were smiling, and some were not even talking at all. I see his brother and sister (I am very close with all their family) and his sister is balling and his brother is just sitting there thinking why. I…

Bennet climbed onto the crowded concert bus and managed to find a seat next to his best friend and twin brother Trev. Having only briefly surveyed the bus from the outside, Bennet took the time to breathe it all in. The bright lights, the blaringly loud music, the 2 hippies sitting in the back seat smoking, and all the other Backroom Jackson fans who were waiting anxiously in their seats for the bus to start rolling its way to the concert. The atmosphere of the tour bus reminded Bennet faintly…

received a text from a family friend, telling me he was on his way to come pick me up. Earlier in the week, I had a falling out with a friend, and I really needed someone to talk to. I texted TJ, asking if we could do something, to get my mind off of everything. He happily obliged and offered to take me to ice cream on Wednesday. When he pulled into the driveway, my heart leaped to my throat. I was finally going to have to come to terms with the fact that my best friend and I were fighting, and…
