F is for Friends

Who helps you when you're down? Who stand up for you when people are making fun of you? Who is there to make your life full of happiness and fun? If you haven't guessed the answers to these questions, the answer is your friends.

Yes, I do realize that everyone is doing a post about friends, but they're so special to everyone right? Is that why we write about them? Anyways, I've had many friends in my life. Some were friends with me for a day and some are friends I don't hang out with anymore but still like them and talk to them every once in a while. At my old school, I had 3 best friends, Savannah, Emily and Aurora. Savannah has been doing synchronized swimming every since she was in SK and know goes into tournaments because she's on like a major girl's swim team. She was smart, friendly and someone you can tell your problems to and comfort you in times of trouble. Emily was one of those girly girls who loves fashion. She was bubbly and upbeat and would be one of those girls who wasn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in. And finally Aurora was my Mexican friend who was able to speak Spanish. She was somewhat quiet but she had a wild side too. She was one of those friends you can go to and would listen or for a couple of laughs to make you feel better. After all, laughter is the best medicine.When I moved to a new school, my friendships with them grew apart. I think even though we never see each other anymore, I'll always appreciate the friendship I've had with them.

When I moved to SJK in Gr6, I thought I wasn't going to have any other friends other than Jamie, who I've known since I did dance with her when I was 5 or something. But I was wrong. I'll tell you a bit about the friends I hang out with now. First there's Marina , the really random friend. She talks about how "Cheesebutt" will destroy the world and that "They" will capture us and eat us for breakfast. I don't know who or what " Cheesebutt" and " They" are. I don't think anyone knows except her. She's cool and loves her pets (especially her cat Pudding). She is the kind of person that will do anything for the people she loves and will get even with anyone who makes her friends anything but happy. So my advice, don't make her mad. You'll regret it. Next is Chloe, the crazy curly-haired girl who is very......cat-like. Anyone who knows her knows that she LOVES cats more than other animal on the planet. She does seem tough to some people, but if you know her like me then you know that she does have a soft side. She is a person that can comfort you when you're upset, but if you're crying over spilled milk as they say, she would tell to get over it and move on. Then there is Libby, who seems just a gloomy red head, but she's WAY more than that. She's probably one of the most loyal friends I could have. She is obsessed with pigs and that's probably one of the main reasons she's a vegetarian. But she likes to eat fish, just like Chloe. Did you know that she can't smell? Weird huh? And last but not least there's Darcy, my volleyball and field hockey superstar friend. She's the optimistic girl in our group who doesn't seem to be anything but happy. Sure she could get annoyed at times, but she's not the one to hold a grudge. She's the kind of girl that will always cheer you up when you're just feeling down.

Well that's about it. I could go on and on about my best pals, but I would have to end this post soon enough. I realize that my friends aren't the most popular girls in the school, but I don't care if they're popular or not. All I have to say is that I love my friends no matter what. I don't care if they are a bit weird and random, they just make my life very happy and interesting. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! And to Marina: I miss you.

Life Lesson:
