Super Friends

June 4, 2010, is a day that I will remember forever; it’s a day that taught me to never take life, family, or friends for granted because you never know when something unexpected, bad or good, will happen and impact your life forever. The day started just like every day has for the past month. We started practicing basketball early that morning, with the same routine as always: stretching, running, layups, and splitting up into two teams and playing against each other. Our coach, Coach Joey, was…

decided to bring in the year with a few friends, who at the time I thought were my true friends. Just to find out later on that they weren’t. I thought that this was going to be a great way to bring in the New Year; I was wrong. On the night of the 31st I was getting ready for the New Year’s Eve party that we have at my church every year. I’m always a part of the program, so naturally I was practicing. While I was practicing, I received a call from a friend of mine. She went on and on to tell me…

There happen to be many restaurants right down the street, and after spring break freshmen are allowed to leave the building to get lunch. Everyone, including myself, was excited to go out to lunch…

at the base so we could easily put it into the ground. He kept repeating, “I shouldn’t be doing this, I shouldn’t have to do this.” The idea of making a cross for a dead teenager really bothered my dad, but he knew how much it would mean to my friends, Kelly’s family, and me. My dad put the finishing touches on the cross with tears in his eyes and looked at me with pure sympathy. He held up the cross and said, “I hope this will work for now”.

It has always been hard for me to make friends and commit to things. You see, I was diagnosed with dyslexia in the third grade. This was accompanied with mild social problems, nothing big.
