Friendships In My Life

1801 Words8 Pages

For the entirety of my life, I have been adept at making friends with people from all walks of life. Each of my friendships is unique, special, and treasured. While some friendships end I will carry others with me for the rest of my life. In the upper right corner is a picture of me and my best friend Alyssa. Alyssa and I have been friends since we were one month old. We did almost everything together except go to school together. Both of us joined a vast array of dance classes, art classes, piano classes, and other activities together. I remember going to her house and watching all the High School Musical movies over and over again. We were so close we would always get matching outfits or shirts. Alyssa was my sister from a different mother. …show more content…

For instance my brother and I are best friends. People sometimes mistake us for twins because of our looks, mannerisms, and how often you will see us together. My friendship with my brother is different than my relationships with other friends, as he was the first person that I had to learn boundaries with and understand the concepts of negotiation and compromise. My brother and I often did joint activities together because it was convenient for my parents, but we also found it fun. Starting in third grade my brother and I started to play lacrosse together. I remember at one point I got hurt and my brother had my back and ended up (intentionally roughly bumping) checking the other kid. Family members make faithful …show more content…

When I was younger she and I would take walks, plant in her garden, and play board games. I went over to her house all the time and we would have sleepovers. I remember how Grandma Grace would always let me stay up late and wake up late something I wasn 't allowed to do at home. As I got older Grandma pushed me to do the best I could and would make me reflect back on my choices and see how they would effect me in the future. She was one of those friends I could tell anything too and she wouldn 't judge me but would explain why she did not agree with me or why she thought I might be making a poor decision. Grandma Grace 's friendship was loving and unconditional, unfortunately she passed away my senior year of high school and I miss her

    I was pushed down, wrestled with, and experienced cuts, bumps, and bruises just like one of the boys. We would have cookouts and bonfires with corn-on-the-cob and the best hamburgers and hot dogs. We would have birthday parties that were the best I can remember. And on hot summer days we would go down to the pool to swim and play on the playground. Our nights were full of little league baseball games under the bridge at Paul J. Sciullo Field watching the pony league games just waiting for one of the big kids to crack a ball so hard it would hit the bridge.

  • Friendship Essay: The Meaning Of True Friendship

    1061 Words  | 5 Pages

    What do you think the meaning of true friendship is, maybe it 's knowing that you trust a certain person with any secret or physical object, somebody who would take a bullet for you, or maybe it 's somebody that you 've grown up with all your life. Everybody has their own definition of ¨true friendship.¨ I personally believe that true friendship is when two people can trust each other with just about anything, they let you succeed and fail on your own, but they always help you when it is most important. I dislike it when people say a true friend doesn 't ¨snitch¨ or lets you copy off their paper for test or more important assignment. This shows that they don 't see the other person as a friend, and more as a ¨get out of jail free¨ card. Some people would argue by saying that it shows the person’s willingness to help, but I believe that the only thing you’re helping them with is failing to prepare for responsibilities.
