and I had been best friends since preschool because our mothers were best friends and we lived two minutes away from each other. We did everything together, were with each other 24/7, and were never seen without one another. In elementary school I told him that I didn’t like his name so I would start calling him Zamiir because it was different and he returned the favor and gave me the name “ Debbie Cakes “. In middle school Zamiir was very athletic and he made new friends while I was the

SPECIAL OCCASION SPEECH Hi. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Bernadette. We’re gathered here today and witnessed the joyous union of Kae and Gio. I am the maid of honor and best friend of the bride. I want to start off by saying that every once in a while… two people meet, and you know it’s meant to be. You know instantly that the stars have aligned, and their paths would bring them together regardless what the world may throw their way. This was clearly the case over 7 years ago
Jamel Smith: Dusk of June 17th 1994 to Dawn of December 10th 2094 OBITUARY It was approximately 10:45 p.m. on a snowy December night. Jamel was driving home from a close friends house. He came up to a red light. The light was green for Jamel, but red for the drunk driver. The drunk driver ran the red light and hit Jamel’s truck on the driver side. Jamel was still alive though, grasping for air and in shock all at the same time, he managed to crawl out the passenger door. Jamel laid in the snow
In the article, “The Price of Patriotism: Jonathan Sewall and John Adams” there are two men who have many similarities but are polar opposites when it came to their overall view point. Both the men, Sewall and Adams, were lawyers and very successful in their line of work, until relations with Britain and the colonies started to change for the worse (Hollitz 51). Sewall and Adams consider themselves best friends (Hollitz 51), but when it came down to the power and control the English government had
There are ten of us, ages four to thirteen, lined up across the stage: all but two statuesque, perhaps majestic, hands clasped, heads nodding respectfully at the audience’s applause. The two, my best friend Melanie and I, ages five and four respectively, stand center stage, hands locked and swinging with wild abandon. The poem starts up again, each child reciting a verse. When my turn comes along, Melanie and I say the line together and get such an outpouring of laughter that we
when my best friend dropped out of high school, and was unable to graduate with me along with the rest of the class of 2010. Life seems to take many twists and turns that somehow mesh into each other to form a chaotic knot of happenings. I’ve known him for almost 8 years now, and we were the best of friends. He was more of like a brother to me. We would do everything together, walk to school in the morning, go to class together, eat lunch together, and walk home together. Out of the two of us
My Most Emotional Experience One of the most emotional experiences I have every experienced was when I lost my best friend. Losing someone who has been through everything with you is hard. When you have an experience like this, you have mixed emotions about it. I was depressed about losing my best friend, angry about why we had argued, but relieved because I no longer had to deal with the stress it put me through. My best friend and I had been inseparable since fifth grade. Here recently, she
scenes and bloody shoot-outs to motion pictures about female friendships. Then goes on to say that in history friendship was really only shown between two males, and women being rude and picking on each other, and I agree with what she has to say about that. Because it’s true, in history and even movies they show men as being friends and us girls going on and talking to them about other girls. While I will agree that we girls sometimes don’t think about what were saying, we always
essay My name is Grant Martin; the base of my personality is very reserved while the actions that I carry out are very persistent. With that being said the word that best describes who I am in the entirety of my personality and physical nature is Faithful. I believe building trust with each individual person I become friends or acquaintances with is the most important thing to focus on. Being faithful to a person whether it’s a loved one or a friend of any sex builds trust between the two people
ethics can be defined as “the study of what is considered to be right and wrong, good and evil”. For example, let’s say that you caught your best friend cheating on his wife. What do you do? Do you confront your best friend and give him the chance to explain what is going on or do you just ignore what you saw and not say anything to either your best friend or to the wife. This is what would be considered an ethical dilemma in which there is a conflict and that some type of choice has to be made
driveway two days prior to her body being discovered. But the victim’s best friend stated that she saw her just the night before. The same night that the neighbor’s wife hosted the jewelry show that the victim was supposed to attend. After the jewelry show the neighbor’s wife says that she knocked on the door and the victim did not answer, but her car was in the driveway. The neighbor’s wife never mentioned the best friend being there, or any other vehicle. When I was interviewing the best friend of the
on their faces as I accept my diploma. I know without a shadow of a doubt that my mother, my two amazing children, my grandmother, God willing she is still alive, and my best friend will all be there to join me in my accomplishment. I know that my mother and my grandmother will shed tears of joy as I accept my diploma. My children, although will not fully understand the importance of this day for their mother, they will undoubtedly be proud of me. My best friend will be proud that I
seen in The Best Friend chapter, and the idea of a classless world is most observed in chapters such as The Caretakers and The Night Watchman. I will argue that this unisexual and classless world is what Alvarez desires and can be observed through the way Yolanda Garcia treats the people she encounters and befriends in the novel. Other, more subtle methods are used to enlighten this world as well. In The Best Friend chapter, we observe a distaste of men early on when Yolanda’s best friend describes
Family members, friends, and especially Tom and Sarah. Today is such a special day. Watching the two of you exchange your vows this morning brought me to tears because I remember, Sarah, when we were in 6th grade and we made that promise to each other to be each other’s maid of honor. Remember how we always argued over who would get in the roller coaster car first? We both wanted to sit right up front. Well, I get to go first this time—as maid of honor! But then again, you’re getting married first
Greenup, IL from Arcola, IL. In Arcola I lived with my mother Teri Matteson. Arcola was a very nice place to live but there baseball programs were not very nice so I moved to Greenup with my father Allen Matteson to play baseball and be with my family. My Dad and Mom both grew up in Greenup so I had family to help me with the adjustment. In Junior High, baseball was played in the fall instead of the usual spring so I was able to meet a person my age before school started which was a big help. When
is man’s best friend. It seems that the majority of households are not complete unless you have two kids, a white picket fence and a golden retriever. I have considered many pets for adoption and feel as though a dog would be the best choice. When choosing a pet you have to consider many options such as expenses per month and what is required to upkeep your pet. Dogs are the best choice because of their loyalty, their unconditional love and they are man’s best friend. Speaking from my own personal
do not have the experience to know exactly what I want to accomplish, but one thing I do have is the high spirited personality that enables me to make friends on my way to a successful life. I am proud of this quality because it had helped me overcome challenges that try to prevent me from reaching my destiny. One of the challenges that came on my way was starting a new life in United States. I was very excited to learn that I was going to live in America. On September 2, 2005, I finally arrived
through music. With the musical features and its emotional lyrics; songs became one of the great ways human beings use to express their feelings and ideas. In the song Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat, the lyrics describe the feelings between two people who are in love but are separated from one another because of distance. The writer tries to capture the listeners’ attentions by immersing them into the relationship through the successful use of symbolism, repetition imagery. The usage of
revenge found in short stories. There will be four citations in total two from each story. Also there will be lessons learned and personal experiences on revenge. I will be using the Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst. Also the book Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe. In the Cask of Amontillado everyone knew that Montresor wanted revenge on Fortunato. Edgar Allen Poe states, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge “(Poe 61). Also
