Recommended: the importance of friendships

It was a Saturday afternoon around 6:00pm when I was busy getting ready to go to the Niki Minaj concert held at the saddle-dome in Calgary. I had just gotten off of work late and was rushing around the house getting my things organized for the most exciting night of my life. I had already pre planned my outfit the night before and had a perfect idea of how the night was gonna go. It was 6:30pm when I was just leaving my house to pick up my friend, until I received the dreaded text from her saying “ Sorry, I can’t make it to the concert”. Furious as I was I knew I had to quickly find a replacement before the concert started. I picked up my phone to dial any of my other friends but unfortunately all of them had made other plans. I was left with …show more content…

She was shy and dyslexic and didn’t fit in as much as a normal kid would have. I remember playing on the play ground at school with my friends and Laine would come up and ask to play with us. With her being 3 years younger, my friends thought she wasn’t cool enough to hang out with all of us. Many of my friends to this day still claim my sister to be a loser or a nerd by her spending the weekends studying all day long or watching marathons of star trek. They think that it is weird for me to hang out with my sister and even tell me that having my sister as my best friend is super lame and that I need to find someone who is not a family member to be my best friend. My sister and I continuously get into fights every day around the house. We blame each other for everything that goes wrong, anywhere from who ate the last piece of cake to who put a hole trough my favourite shirt. Most of the time they turn out to be neither of our faults, but we still continue to blame each other. We call each other names and occasionally break out into a physical fights with my parents always responding with “when will you two get along”. My family believes that me and my sister will never get along and my friends believe that she will always be my little annoying sister who will steal my clothes, embarrass me around others, follow me around, and continuously get on my …show more content…

When perceived this way, they fail to realize that the best type of friends are the siblings you grow up along side of. With lots of friends believing that hanging out with your younger sibling is uncool, they decline to understand that a younger siblings defines who you are and can actually be a great friend. A sibling that gets on your nerves, embarrasses you, steals your things, and someone you constantly fight with, can actually be a huge part of who you are and who you become. My sister can be an annoying sometimes but that does not change the amount of her vital importance to me. She has developed to be more then just my younger sibling who I fight with, but someone who contributes to who I am and has more meaning then just my little sister. Even though my sister is perceived as a nerd or someone who I will never get along with, she in fact is someone who means more to me then anyone in this world. She has had a huge impact on my life compared to any friend I will ever have and this gives me the great reason to celebrate her as my

  • Night Essay

    1089 Words  | 3 Pages

    When a person's faith is also an alternative for their culture and morals, it proves challenging to take that sense of security in that faith away from them. In Night, Elie Wiesel, a Jewish student living in Sighet, Transylvania during the war of 1942, uses his studies in Talmud and the Kabbalah as not only a religious practice but a lifestyle. Elie and his fellow civilians are warned, however, by his Kabbalah teacher who says that during the war, German aggressors are aggregately imprisoning, deporting, and annihilating millions of Jews. When Elie and his family are victim of this aggression, Elie realizes how crucial his faith in God is if he is to survive the Holocaust. He vows after being separated from his mother and sisters that he will protect he and his father from death, even though as death nears, Elie gradually becomes closer to losing his faith. In the end, to Elie's devastation, Elie makes it out of the Holocaust alone after his father dies from the intense seclusion to malnutrition and deprivation. Elie survives the Holocaust through a battle of conscience--first by believing in God, then resisting his faith in God, and ultimately replacing his faith with obligation to his father.

    Most would say that I have a bubbly personality or that I am a ray of sunshine. My sister on the other hand, at first would be described as quieter and keeps to herself. However, when you really get to know her she can talk a mile a minute and is super outgoing. My sister is as bright as a light bulb; her favorite subject is math and to her, chemistry is a piece of cake. I often find myself envying how school comes so naturally to her and sometimes I wish I could just steal her brains. When we were little we were super close. I remember we would always wake up at an absurd time on Saturday to play games or watch Disney Channel together. We were best friends and could never be separated. However, as we both got older, we started to grow distant and talked to each other less. We got in more fights and I thought she was getting meaner and that her personality was as hard as nails. I felt she was always too busy to talk to me or that she never cared about my feelings. On the contrary, my sister started to view me as a thorn in her side. She felt that I was constantly bothering her and that I was too young to understand or to be able to play with her. When she was in highschool and I was in middle school we barely saw each other due to different after school activities and different schedules.
