My Best Friend
Have you ever had someone in your life who helped you figure out who you were? Someone who showed you the right path. Someone who was there right next you even if you did not take that path. Someone who always seemed to be right, but never held it against you when you were not. Someone whom without your life would most likely be entirely different. I have. Her name was Jessica. Jessica was more than my neighbor. She was more than my mentor. She was my best friend. Jessica lived three houses down from me when I moved into a newneighborhood . She made moving to a new neighborhood a lot easier. She was one of those people who was friends witheverybody. She was friends with everyone because she was so special....show more content... She would listen to you. She would be your friend, even if she just met you. I can not remember a time when she had something unpleasant to say about someone. That was one of many valuable lessons I learned from her and have made apart of my life.
She seemed to know everything. Anytime I had a perplexing question I knew she would know what to tell me. Her wisdom spanned several subjects. Everything from the textbook things they wanted me to learn in school, to the life lessons that there are no textbooks for. She taught me by example. She showed me that it was just a waste of my time and energy getting mad, upset, angry or so irate that I allowed myself to be controlled by my emotions. She was always calm, patient, and even tempered when faced with people who were less than pleasant to be around. I learned from watching her deal with people that being nice never fails. And I learned from watching her deal with the situations life would present that as long as you gave everything you had to give and never quit, you could never be beat.
Jessica was a truly amazing friend. She was a true friend. I could always depend on her being there for me with the right words of advice. Even if I did not want to hear what she was saying. She had been exactly where I was and she knew how perilous the journey of adolescence could be. She informed and guided me in my choices. Yet she never forced anything on me. My
The last time I saw my best friend was definitely a time I would never forget. It was the best yet worst day of my life. Yet It taught me that letting go isn't always the best thing, but can change you as a person. Summer vacation had just started. When school ended, I went away for a week for my first travel. Nina however, was staying in Moscow, attending a tennis camp for a week. During that week that we didn't constantly talk to each other, which was just a small glimpse of what the future had in store for us. Coming back to Moscow from that incredibly long week. I was very eager to see her once again. Unfortunately, I had to wait a while, because tennis camp only ended a few days after I came back. The feeling of being in the same place as your best friend but not being able to see her was torture. Every day that came closer to when I would see her was exciting, yet terrifying at the same time. I knew that this would be a day that I would definitely not foget. I remember seeing her, how my heart lifted, hearing her voice again, I was the happiest person. We planned the whole day. Our first destination was Nebo, a trampoline park. On the way there, with Moscow's unusual weather, it was pouring. By pouring I mean the cars were swimming.When we got out of the car we were running around the streets. Drenched in water, as we entered the park. Walking into the building, seeing the receptionists reaction was hilarious. Mocking their faces of disgust. The whole time the two of

I knew something was wrong the summer my best friend walked through me. Katie was like any other normal eight year old. She loved princesses, castles, and had an imagination like I had never experienced. Katie and I had been friends since she was two years old and had always been inseparable. Everywhere Katie went, I went. Our friendship was one of perfection, filled with elegant tea parties, heroic missions, and sleepy bedtime ballads. Katie was my everything and I was hers, at least until that day on the playground. It was a hot summer day in the middle of July and Katie's nana said that it would do us all some good if we went down to the neighborhood park and get some fresh air. Of course Katie and I were super excited, going to the park meant that we could play on the big playground equipment. We all got into the car and after Katie was all buckled up in her car seat, off we drove to the park. On the way there, Katie and I started talking about all the things we wanted to play when we got to the park.
"I can't wait 'till we get there and we can play pirates. You be the first mate and I'll be the Captain", Katie said jumping up and down in her car seat. "Aargh", I said as I put my hand over my eye making a pirate eye patch.
Katie squealed with laughter which I had found was quite contagious, so I too started to laugh. Once we pulled up to the park, Katie's nana opened the door and helped Katie out. I guess Katie's nana forgot that I was in the car too because she Get more content
Have you ever had that one special friend that you knew would be there for you through thick and thin? That special friend, who can read your thoughts, finish your sentences, and make you smile when you are feeling blue. A friend is someone who is honest and you can trust. A friend is someone who you hang out with, and someone you rely on. Friendship is being there for someone when they need you. That person for me is my best friend Katrina. She is the kindest, sweetest person I have ever known. She will do anything for anyone. I met Katrina when I was in the 5th grade and she was in the 6th grade. Making friends has never been easy for me but we seemed to hit it right off from the beginning.. We spent a lot of time together as...show more content...
I told her my deepest darkest secrets. She was there for me when my first love broke my heart. She was there for me when my parents got divorced. She has lent me a helping hand and a shoulder to cry on more times than I would like to admit. I believe that every needs to have a friend. Friends are there to comfort, to laugh with, and to create wonderful memories. Friendship is sacred and needs to be cherished with love, patience and understanding. Katrina is more than just a friend she is just like a sister. She is my best friend. I cannot imagine my life without her in it. My life would not be complete without her in it. She is the one I call when life seems so unfair. We can talk on the phone for hours about absolutely nothing. She is the kind of friend that everyone needs to have in their life. She can make you smile and laugh when you feel like all is lost. Her smile and joyful personality can bring a smile to anyone's face. She can truly light up a room with her wonderful personality and charm. I am truly lucky to have her in my life. She is a wonderful mother, wife and friend. I admire her patience and understanding. Katrina is kind and compassionate with everyone. Honestly I don't know how she does it. I wish I had half the patience she has. Life has taken Katrina and me in very separate directions. She lives several hours away and we rarely get to see each other but we still talk on the phone every day. Although we live hundreds of miles

Throughout my seventeen years of living my life there had been major issues that I didn't think I would be able to get through. Dealing with all the enemies and troubled people I experienced in my lifetime already. One relationship I can say that was difficult and sometimes still is to maintain is my best friend Anna. Usuallybest friends would be similar, and that is why they are best friends from all the similarities. Anna and I are actually completely different people and that what made us stronger. From her being my opposite helped me to become the person I am today, which is being more wise , enthusiastic, and creative. Sometimes our opposites make us stronger than we were before.
First, Anna and I met at camp when I was six and she was seven. The first conversation we had actually led us into arguing, from that day we both knew we wouldn't be friends. Ever since that day we would argue everyday at the top of our lungs until we got tired and eventually stopped. To fast forward through our camp experience for 9 years, we still used to argue and looking back at those arguments actually made me stronger. One argument was that, Anna felt as though I was not showing enoughemotion as though I was holding something in or avoiding my feelings.
At the time I didn't see that because I was like that for so long that I saw myself showing emotion. Truth be told I was holding something in, when it all came out Anna was surprised and was there for me when I needed her. From going
