good grades and good conduct. In high school, I never got into trouble. There was this one time in elementary school where the school had to call my parents. I had been sent to the office. This was the first and last time that I was sent to the office. Of all the bad things I could have done, I was sent to the office because I wrote on a bathroom wall. The story begins with me in the first grade. I was attending school at Hollis Hand Elementary. I had a friend named Jackie in kindergarten, but she
Everyone has a childhood best friend, while I have not seen mine in about four years. I have known Jessica Turner since elementary school. Even though we went to different middle schools we still kept in touch by texting or even social media. When I was in high school my sophomore year I was walking to my mom’s work which is by the elementary school I used to go to. For some odd reason I walked in and that is when I saw her, my childhood friend Jessica sitting on a bench. She did not see me so I

Tante Atie for Sophie was the mother that she always wanted; a mother that would wait for her outside when she returned from school or a mother that would tell her stories when she couldn't fall asleep. This will soon change when one-day plane tickets arrive and everything that was familiar to her was no longer there. Sophie was now in a new country with a mother that was also
My Friend, Anna Ripley Indefatigable is the only the word I can think of to describe my best friend and sister, Anna Ripley. Growing up on a dirt road in the woods, with your nearest neighbors being cousins you develop a pretty strong sense of the importance of family. One year me and my sister decided to go for a walk, three hours later it so happened we ended up in Parrsboro; 5 minutes away from buying ice cream because it was a scorching temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. We didn’t walk back home
Someone You Care About Death is something no one likes to encounter. Weather it be a parent, son, daughter, or a friend. Growing up in the small town of Hunter, population of about a hundred, everyone knew everyone and their business. Not having anything to keep the children occupied during breaks from school; we were always just hanging out at each others house and becoming closer friends. The departure of growing up or even death never entered our minds at this point in our lives. Although, we knew

Every episode displays the characters developing as they maneuver through the obstacles that life throws at them, and how they help one another get past those obstacles. The six main characters
stint in the educational system has finally come to a close. Through discovering my senses of self, I have reaffirmed the most important parts of my life, validating them on what seems like a value-scale. Because my bonds with God, my family, and friends are so strong and crucial, I know not a day could go by without consulting each of those elements.

There are far fewer people who posess great character. A reputation is built in just moments, and reflects what you do in front of people. Character, on the other hand, is built over years, and is reflected in what is unseen by others. Of all of my friends, one exemplifies great character more than any of the others. His name is Chris. Chris stands a little over 6 feet tall with thick, dirty blonde hair. His piercing blue eyes change color in the sunlight. He is very light complected, with a small
I’ll Be There For You Lying in bed on a Friday night with a bowl of popcorn and watching a favorite TV show on Netflix is a regular ritual for many people.

Manytimes one hears the words “and it changed my life forever,” or something to that effect; these words seem to be a bit overused and may have lost their meaning for some. So when I heard them from Jon, I must admit that even though he is a friend, I was a bit dubious. Jon claimed that at the age of about thirteen a major change occurred for him. This change dealt with the religion Jon was born into, Judaism. This was the faith that his parents turned to at the age of twenty andbrought

Personal Narrative- Meaningful Walk With a Friend It was a warm summer evening. The sun had already set and its brilliance still lingered in the sky, it seemed, much longer than usual. It was a wonderful night for a walk with my friend and our dogs. I waited for him at the usual spot, midway between our houses—the corner of Annesely and Bernwood. He was always at least five minutes late, but he always showed up. Brad emerged over the small hill on Bernwood. His back was towards the sunset, so
definition a friend is a person who provides assistance and support. We have different groups of friends for different purposes in our lives. Although there are many different categories of friends, Marion Winik author of “What are Friends For?” mentions that some of the more common groups consist of the faraway, work, family, and former friends (132).
