Rebels Without a Cause Not very many people have affected me in the same way as my friend Jake Fernholz. I have never realized the influence he has had on me until someone pointed out that we talk and think the same way. I only met Jake two years ago in track, when a pulled hamstring injury caused Mr. Kellerman to have me practice with the long distance kids. Mr. Kellerman forced me into staying on the long distance team and that is where I started to hit it off with Jake. It took me a long time to be comfortable with Jake, but when I did we quickly found our common interests. Jake and I have the specific common interests of movies. We’ve seen nearly all the highest rated movies and talk about them everyday. There is no one else I know that …show more content…
Jake and I both have A.D.H.D. and this really shows when we hang out. There is no one else in the world that I am as comfortable with. We are also both extreme right wing conservatives and share the same opinion on the majority of political situations. Having a friend like Jake is important to me because he is the only person that I can be myself around. One experience where we mouthed off to the wrong person brought us closer than ever. Traumatic experiences seem to bring people closer together more than any other situation. Last year the Cross-Country team went on a trip to a Twins game. The team slowly became more comfortable with each other and by the time we arrived, we were having a good time. The baseball game was incredibly boring, so naturally our short attention spans got the best of us. We left our seats and started to wander the stadium. When we were riding the escalator a man that looked like Jessie Pinkman from Breaking Bad cut in front of us in a hurry. This guy was wearing dark and ratty clothes and looked like he was addicted to drugs. I then said to Jake under my breath, “Calm down drug addict.” We were the only three people on the escalator and
Do you have a great friend that is always there for you? Matthew Moss is a great friend and someone who has my back. I originally met Matthew in second grade at Vanderlyn Elementary School. Although I didn 't start being his close friend till around halfway through 7th grade, we have grown into a great pair of amigos. He is as ripped as a torn piece of paper, he 's as funny as a dank meme compilation, he 's as serious as he is hilarious, and he has hair like he gets a haircut every day.
I was afraid that it was my brother- I thought I might get in trouble and my brother might become sick. After a moment of gathering my thoughts, I went in there and checked it out. I got
The new American hero (Just a quick look) Can you see the handsome young man sitting by my side, driving through the forest, behind the wheel of his decadent truck? Yes. I would trust him with my life (sip of vodka).
Hubert H. Humphrey once said, “The greatest gift in life is friendship, and I have received it.” This shows that friendship is extremely important. In the film, Holes, the director Andrew Davis shows us that people should stick together with their friends. The main characters, Stanley and Zero, support and together through difficult times. This shows us that friends stick together and help each other.
I was going through boxes looking for something, anything that would help me finish this project. My teacher just handed out an essay that we have to do on the history of a family member . My Dad told me if we have anything it would be in the trunk upstairs, but there were only trinkets in the trunk. I resorted to scavenging through the boxes in the attic. I gave up after finding nothing except a picture of some man sitting on a pony.
We all headed towards the gate trying to look like we are supposed to be there. We got in line to get into the park and hoped we would get in. We got to the front of the line and the lady running the gate said “Last name, please.”
On September 8, 2008 I arrived to the hospital at six o 'clock in the morning to get induced to have my first daughter due to a blood clot I had in my leg. The nurses first told me to change into a gown. Shortly after they hooked me up to the monitors to hear the baby moving all around. Also to track her cute little heartbeat. Another one was to monitor my contraction and watch them on the screen.
I am so thankful to be writing to you right now. Just a few hours ago, I was not sure I would be alive to retell the horrendous activities that have taken place. As you know, a few months ago, I joined a civil rights organization called the Freedom Riders. We are a nonviolent group of protesters that aim to bring attention to the civil rights movement and gain support. Three days ago, on May 4, we loaded the bus and set out for New Orleans.
Erik and I first met back in kindergarten playing baseball for the highly recognized Eagles organization. Erik was third base, I played shortstop, and from that point on a friendship was bonded. We both attended Cherry Hills Village Elementary School through 5th grade. Seeing how we shared all the same activities, it was hard not to become friends at such an early age. During the week we would have class, baseball or football practice, and detention.
My best friend, Jake Banfield has impacted my life in numerous ways since the second grade. One of those would be basketball. We played together for 7 years all the way to our eighth-grade year. He is one year younger than me, but is probably one of my closest friends. I have had numerous memories with him by my side.
The novel, Of Mice and Men, has several characters in it that I have noticed have similar characters as myself. These characters that I will write about are Lennie, George, and Slim. These characters are very important to the plot and are very important to me as well. Lennie has similar qualities to me because he is always trying to please his friends. Other similar qualities he has is being a good worker and follower.
I was still new here to DeWitt and I didn’t have many friends, one day after recess Lucas came up to me and whispered into my ear, “will you be my friend?” I said, “yes” with a giant smile on my face. We hung out everyday hours on end. I found Lucas to be a very nice, respectful, friend and I was lucky to have him as my best friend.
In middle school, I took part in an essay competition where we had to write about one of our strongest role models—who they were, what they did, and how they had influenced us. Other students wrote about Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, George Washington, etc. I, the youngest of five sisters and one of the quietest people in the school, chose Harpo Marx. I did not win the competition—to be honest, my essay wasn’t very good, and I knew that, even at the time. I had bigger, better things to worry about, though.
The way the tables were set up reminded me of the elementary school cafeteria that I used to attend before I came to live with grandma. A few folks that were in the group of people waiting tried to walk off and the guard pointed to a black line that was on the floor. We had to stay behind that line until we got the go-ahead from another guard to find a seat. At this point, I was confused and looked at Angel.
Most people will come across a person that they will become very close with and call them their best friend. Zach Martin is my best friend and there are many reason for that. He is a very trust worthy person, he is fun to be around, and he is like a brother to me at this point. Also, if I ever need help with something he will come to help me if he can. Zachary Alan Martin is 5’8” and weighs approximately 170 pounds.
