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 walked up to her and as soon as I got close to her she looked up and smiled at me and I smiled back. It felt like we talked for hours but it was only fifteen minutes. Later on her mom came and picked her up and we said our goodbyes. We hoped that we would get a chance to see each other soon even though we went to different high schools, but that was the last time I saw my best friend. Even though we still texted one another that was the last time I saw her. My junior year in high school I got a new phone but lost all of my contacts even Jessica’s. …show more content…
We started talking and I later asked her if by any chance she had Jessica’s number. She nodded and happily gave me Jessica’s number. Later on that night after I finish my homework and my chores around the house, I texted Jessica and asked, “Is this Jessica Turner? This is Sophia Obregon.” She replied and we started talking, texting, and facetiming again since we both had IPhones. We had talked all night and we had to remind each other that one of us had work or school the next day, I had found out that Jessica got herself a job and that she had moved out of her parents’ house and was living with her boyfriend and a friend from high school in the apartments by
When I saw her face, it was like my whole world had flashed before my eyes and turned upside down. From that moment on she was there for me whenever I need her not just for the big stuff. First whenever I study I sometimes get overwhelmed because I have been out of school for so long. One time she came up to me with flash cards for my times tables to help me get through the problems faster. Now she has become my new study buddy. Going to school during the day and working at night has become more stressful than I have imagined. At times I want to just crawl into a ball a...
My family and I recently moved to Texas this summer for my dad’s job. This summer was the first summer that I didn't get to spend with my childhood friends from Kentucky. I wasn't really set on the idea that I had to spend an entire summer with just my parents and sister in a huge city where I knew no one. I hated the fact that I wouldn't get to see my best friend Allison, who I literally spent every waking moment with, all summer. The first couple weeks of being in Texas were pretty boring, I literally sat in my room 24/7 watching the entire series of Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. It was the fourth week of being in Texas that my dad told my sister and I that we were going to go to one the Houston Dynamo soccer games. When we got there we went and sat with a group of my dads coworkers and there families. While I was there my sister and I met one of my dads coworkers daughter. Surprisingly her name was Allison and she was the same age as us. Her dad had recently just moved to Houston also so she didn't really know anyone also. The next couple weeks after the soccer game we started to hang out with Allison. She was exactly like my best friend Allison from Kentucky. We ended up becoming best friends over the summer and found so much to do in Texas. It was so unusual to think that meeting her was an

Throughout my four years in high school I have been fortunate enough to fulfill many of my aspirations and my thirst for knowledge. One goal that I would like to achieve is to become an international attorney. I have aligned my involvement in specific academic and extra-curricular activities to aid me preparing for the long road between my present situation and the day I pass the bar exam. Through my high school activities I have learned three virtues that I have deemed necessary to achieve my goal, passion, self-discipline, and perseverance.
There were a lot of arguments happened around my teenage time. Most of the arguments are little things in life such as my mother waking me up at seven o’clock in the morning on weekdays, helping her clean the house, different opinions on choosing stylish outwears.
I'm psyched to begin high school this fall! The biggest thing I'm looking forward to is the freedom I didn't have last year. It's not that big of a deal, but I'll finally get to bring my backpack to class! I'll also get to go wherever for RAISE without having to sign out of our anchored RAISE class like we did in middle school. I'm interested in joining after school clubs like partners club and participating in the school plays! I want to try to do as many activities as I can because I never did much in the last two years. This includes being on the JV field hockey team and trying out for crew! I probably wouldn't have played any sports if my friends didn't encourage me. They're the best! I hope I can make even more who are in different
Not to brag, but I’m a pretty good kid. I have never had detention throughout my middle and high school career. The only time I have been called to the office was last year when the freshmen principal thought I had skipped because I was counted absent in a class, even though I was present during that hour. I’m not trying to claim I’m a perfect saint, there’s been situations where I didn’t necessarily “do the right thing” and of course I get an attitude at times. While I might not get into a lot of immense trouble, I have a problem getting motivated to step out of my comfort zone, although at times I severely push the limits.
Growing up I never had time for anything. A normal teenage boy would’ve gone out almost everyday or just partied , what I basically , mean is that they would’ve been very outgoing and social. I on the other side I was a boy who didn’t had time to hangout friends , had to handle with work , school and sports. Waking up at 6 in the morning take a shower , change and by 7 had to get out from my house or I would’ve been late to school. Always had to walk , in the rain or snow it didn’t matter I had to walk because my older sister needs the car for her to go to college. After I get to school I had to do my do now for physiology and always trying to understand the class because I really don’t like science , but I had to try my best to get a good
When you try really hard but fail is a lot better than never trying. Making decisions is a huge part of anyone's life because you make them every day. Calling in sick to work to go hangout out with your friends is not as bad as it seems. I work 5 days a week that means I really only have one day out of the week to go do something with my friends. It was a nice cool Friday night and a group of people were going out for the night to a amusement park.
The sun gleamed vibrantly on August 5, 2008, but I did not sense the warmth as my thoughts were elsewhere. I was only six years old at the time and preparing to begin first grade in less than one month. As I crossed the threshold into the home of my best friend, I had a sensation everything would change. At such a young age, I was having to tell my best friend goodbye. Blake Basgall had leukemia and would not be around when I returned from vacation, according to my mom. That day, I had spent hours coloring a picture in his favorite color, blue, so I could give it to him prior to heading to my grandma’s for the week. Blake was my first real friend. He had a thoughtful and daring heart through all of his surgeries and medication treatments. Blake Lee Basgall would become an inspiration
On May 21th, 2006 my life was changed forever. One day in kindergarten my teacher got a call on the intercom saying “Can you send down Hamdi to Ms. McCarthy's office”. The whole class started teasing me and saying “Hamdi’s in trouble, Hamdi’s in trouble” and I immediately bursted into tears. Imagine how I felt when I get called down to the principal's office then get mocked by my peers for getting in trouble. In kindergarten, I was the “goody two shoes” to the point where even my teacher was shocked when I got called down. When I got there with my puffy red eyes, there Ms. McCarthy was waiting at the door with a big smile on her face. She went down on her knees to the point where our were eye to eye and said “Honey don’t worry, you aren't in trouble”. I was so relieved, then she had me come into
The idea of meeting someone special for the first time is always portrayed as the most beautifully fated incident whether in books or movies. When I met my best friend for the first time, we didn’t bump into each other with papers from our books flying majestically in the air and we didn’t have a staring contest in the middle of a crowded hallway. We also certainly didn’t think we would end up being friends, let alone inseparably close to each other.
“Beep, Beep, Beep!” It was six o’clock in the morning and my alarm clock woke me up 4to prepare for the first day of my Senior Year. I slowly arose from my deep sleep and strolled toward my closet as if I were a snail. After twenty minutes of contemplating heavily, I finally reached a decision on my outfit. My outfit consisted of a navy blue and light brown elephant print kimono, a pure white blouse, light brown flats, and a silver triangle shaped Aztec necklace. To my surprise the clock struck a quarter to seven, leaving me only moments left to get ready. I jumped into the shower and then prepared for the day I had ahead of me.
but we never contact now... I don’t even have her facebook. I have many different friends during my school
It is amazing how many things we take for granted. We make plans for the day, and don't think twice about how those plans can be taken away in the blink of an eye. I never thought much about it myself, until I was faced with the shock, and undeniable truth of my cousin's death. I don't think anyone really thinks about tragedy until they are actually faced with shocking news.
