Qualities of My Best Friend Essay

. We all lose friends; it is inevitable. Despite our efforts, friends drift apart and move away, or we merely find other social groups that suit us. During this time, we may remain close friends or distant acquaintances with one another. We may even experience an outfall due to an argument or betrayal. In rare cases, unforgiveable actions thrash the line of friendship. Depending on the situation, every individual acts differently. Burdened by low self esteem and eternal struggles,…

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.

I grabbed my boyfriend’s arm while the thoughts “You can do this; You’re stronger than this.” rolled through my hard…

April of 2012, on a spring break day, my sister and I had no clue that this normal-seeming day would turn into a day full of surprise. Maya, my sister, was four years old with blonde hair and eyes as light blue as a clear sky. Many people said her hair was as soft as silk.
