Friendship Essay: My Best Friend

675 Words2 Pages

She doesn’t know this, but she changed my life. She was there for me when it seemed like no one else was. When most of my friends were dissolving around me and I just didn’t feel like I could do anything right, she was there, and she made everything seem okay. It didn’t matter that I was inevitably going to graduate with a GPA a tenth of a point lower than I wanted, or that my director told me that he was disappointed in me because I just didn’t seem focused lately, or that my other friends just weren’t talking to me anymore. It didn’t matter because she was there and she made me feel safe. She’s my best friend, and I love her and admire her for so many different reasons. It seems that, no matter the situation, she knows exactly what will brighten my mood, whether it’s an hour-long venting session, a frozen yogurt run or sitting around a fire making s’mores. She has the incredible ability to make me laugh even when it seems impossible, through sometimes impractical means, like throwing marshmallows across the room or telling goofy made-up stories that may or may not be relevant to t...

    Some might not consider this to have much importance but the rarity of these qualities in a person’s character makes her praiseworthy. She is the person that I constantly turn to when I have something to get off my chest, whether it is a rant about a mean teacher, or a lengthy description of how my parents were being unreasonable. She consistently shows patience in her ability to sit there and listen to me regardless of the amount of time that I spend talking and repeating myself. Patience is a virtue and she possesses it with grace. Also the kindness that she shows me and others around her, is incomparable to anyone I know. When we were visiting friends in another state, I got sick and started throwing up. Instead of leaving me to deal with it by myself, she stayed with me the whole time, brought me some pills and water, and then laid by me in bed for a couple hours until I felt better. She talked me through the entire ordeal and showed me her incredible kindness. Jennifer deserves praise and recognition for her character because not many other people, except my mother, would have done that. Her loyalty to me as a friend is unbreakable and I know that I can always depend on her. She will keep all of my secrets and look out for my best

    Even though our team, “The Stingers”, eventually changed to “The Velocity”, one girl, Christina, was always there for me and continues to be by my side today. Through playing on the same soccer team for nine seasons, we developed a bond that will not easily be broken. We can look at each other and just start laughing for no reason. I know all of her drama and she knows mine. Our mutual trust that was developed on the soccer field has branched into every aspect of our lives. I know I can turn to her at any moment and she will quit whatever she is doing and come to my rescue. Likewise, she knows I will always be there to help her through any situation, no matter how difficult it may be. Recently, when Christina received the heart wrenching news that her mom has breast cancer, I stood right by her side to help her through it. She was able to lean on me for support when it was too overwhelming for her to handle on her own. When she needed to get away from the stresses of her mom’s health, we would hang out and just talk for hours on end. Similarly, when my relationship with a mutual friend was struggling, Christina was there to help me get through it. She encouraged me to stay strong and continue to treat our friend with respect even though she neglected me and our decade of friendship.
