One of my mom’s best friends is Nikki, they’ve been friends since High School, so it’s easy to say that I’ve known Nikki all my life. Nikki at that time is married to Matt, and only had one daughter, Kylie. Nikki and Matt had only recently been married and moved into a new apartment not far from where my Mom and I lived. It was quite common that my mom and Nikki would take turns on who was babysitting, it was usually only for a couple of hours. One weekend in August 2004, Nikki and Matt…
Man’s Best Friend They say a dog is a man’s best friend. I can agree with that given that I had a four legged, furry friend. My golden retriever, Copper, was my best friend. He was always there for me when I needed someone to rant to, he never judged me, and he would continue to love me even after shouting at him. No other dog could ever compare to Copper. He was one of the world’s greatest dogs in addition to being a best friend. Ten years ago, my parents decided to get my brother, Grant, and…

would change my life forever? I thought that it was going to be just an average Saturday night until I heard my phone, and I had received a text message from a friend of mine. At the time we were not all that close, and we pretty much just talked inside of school. Little did I know that we would become inseparable the very next day. The text message said, "Can you come over for dinner tonight?" I asked my mom, and she told me that I could not go, because she did not know my friend 's mom. My mom…
I took me five years to realize what an extraordinary influence he has been in my life. When I felt like disappearing, seeing him made me want me to be found. He is my best friend. Growing up with him has made me the person I am today. He is the most hilariously awkward handsome man I have ever had the honor of meeting. At first sight, you would say that his clothes are classy and formal. However; if you knew him as well as I do, you would notice that he dresses up in all types of clothes. All…
translated all of our name into Nigerian!” yelled my best friend, Taylor. “Akeira, your name is ‘Ah-kee-ki-doh,’” “Haha, cookie dough, that’s funny. Akeira your name is ‘kurabiye hamuru’ in my language,” said my other friend, Zahra. Taylor repeated her translation and Zahra admitted to believing she said cookie dough, we all like the name and for a while my name was “Cookie Dough,” but of course we shortened it to just Cookie. A new school and new friends led to my world being forever changed. …

In the ninth grade my best friend attempted suicide. The doctors have no idea how she survived. When she overdosed on hydrocodone and some of her father’s prescription medicines, it had caused severe intestinal bleeding. Nobody knows how she lived from that. I remember going to the hospital to see her when she was in her near death state of being. She looked as if somebody had took a knife, cut an incision in her, and just let her blood drain out from her limp body. I was afraid to hug her. I…
. We all lose friends; it is inevitable. Despite our efforts, friends drift apart and move away, or we merely find other social groups that suit us. During this time, we may remain close friends or distant acquaintances with one another. We may even experience an outfall due to an argument or betrayal. In rare cases, unforgiveable actions thrash the line of friendship. Depending on the situation, every individual acts differently. Burdened by low self esteem and eternal struggles,…
happen twice. It was like any other Monday, October 18th. The wind whistled outside and the colorful leaves covered the ground like a blanket. I went into school and made my way through the old building climbing the small set of stairs and making my way up the small ramp in the damp dark hallway that lead to the trailer that held my homeroom. The day started out in Mrs.…
