“The hardest part about her going away to school is not seeing her every day, and knowing when to give her space,” mother Pam Sheridan said. “I enjoy her company so much, and she is our last child, and the house is not the same without her, but if she's happy, it makes it easier, and she is.”…
Any type of organisms need specific things in order to survive, for example, plants needs water, sunlight, and nutrients; animals needs water, food, oxygen, etc. And for us, human beings, we need oxygen, water and food to survive, but to maintain a healthy life, we would also need a friend(s). A person can live without a friend, but they might end up having mental illness and such. But it is actually not as easy as you think to find a real friend that will be your friend forever. For instance, some people might have a large group of friends during their freshman year in high school, yet when they get to their senior year they might end up having only one friend whom they can still tell their secret to or share their feelings to without…
Friends may also move away either from their neighbourhood or they could move schools. This may leave the child feeling like they have lost a friend, they may feel nervous about making new friends leading them to feel anxious and shy. They will also experience upset if their friend is moving far away and they are not likely to see them again i.e. if they emigrate.…
Before I explain my goals, disappointments and accomplishments, let me give you a brief explanation of my best friend. Her name was Amber Morris, I called her battle, as she called me too. We met in boot camp in 2006, hence the nickname, and were inseperable - literally. She was more than a best friend, she was my sister. She moved everywhere I did, married when I did, we had babies 3 months apart, planned for school together, divorced at the same time, fought eachother over everything and loved eachother more than we knew how to do any of our fighting. Two weeks before Feburary 19, 2010 we had a fight over my spontaneous choices. After her divorce she moved back home to Iowa, got enrolled in Iowa School of Beauty, got her own place and started really living. I however was not as decisive. I wanted to travel and only live for daily experiences… not really work towards long lasting goals. I needed instant gratification to make me happy. She only wanted the best for my daughter, Emmalie, and I. I saw her as just being judgemental of my latest decision to randomly visit Europe and I became defensive. Then the…
Amanda made the decision to move to Athens so she could swim for the UGA bulldogs to get herself ready for her swimming career in college. This idea was horrific to me, even though it would be the better for both my mom and my sister. I was also the last to find out in my family, which made me even madder. My sister is my best friend, and has been sense around the age of 12 when we finally grew out of the fighting scenario. I would have no one to turn to when I needed someone to talk to, nor would I have anyone to be completely goofy with either. I had friends and all, but none to which my bond was as tight as mine and Amanda’s. I would have no one to giggle with about the most stupid stuff, or no one to cart me around when I had places to go.…
Everyone has had a friend and/or a best friend they are no longer friends with. I am the same as everyone else. 6 years of a strong friendship thrown away because of the trust that was broken. All the laughs, memories, the long phone calls about boys , wearing matching outfits and having sleepovers is all gone.…
When my family move to San Jose in 2003, I have to start a new school year without any friends and I through that it would be easy to make new friends like back in my old school. But I start to realize that no one wants to make friend with the new kids and that…
Adjusting to a new school is always a challenge. In my grade 7 year, I had to leave behind longtime friends and teachers whom I admired. To my frustration, my parents insisted it was in my best interest. Walking into school on the first day was terrifying; my introverted personality coupled with the fact that I knew no one made for a nerve-wracking experience. I simply had to focus on one day at a time, and I eventually settled in at my new school. I managed to make a few close friends, and I met plenty of interesting people. However, my parents soon informed me that I would be changing schools again the very next year. I was incensed, but I soon discovered that this time was different. The experience I had gained…
Have you ever lost a friend that you thought would be in your life forever?…
leave my friends? Why about my high school? It was unexpected, but she gave me hope,…
Leaving the friends I had spent the past twelve years with was hard. I knew I needed to get good grades in my classes in order for my new high school to allow me to attend. I was determined to make everything work, however, so I stopped going out…
My 8th grade year in middle school was a learning experience that came along with lots of failure. The beginning of 8th grade was the easiest part of middle school because there was no drama and less friends. As time went by I gained more friends and more pressure was put on my shoulders. I learned a lot about friendships and the meaning of them. Losing the friends that meant the most to me is one of my failures and something that was challenging. Friendships from the past have a huge impact on the friendships that I’ve made today. In middle school I was always open to meeting new people and starting new friend friendships with anyone but now I realize that I can’t do that without getting to know the person first.…
The first and also the most common effect of entering a University is that once you enter the new school, you start missing your old friends. There are many reasons you and your friends start splitting apart and leaving to study in different cities or schools, but feeling sad because you miss them is inevitable. This doesn’t mean you are never going to see your friends again, but it isn’t the same to be at school without your best friends.…
Rather than the overworked adobo (so identified as the Philippine stew in foreign cookbooks), sinigang seems to me the dish most representative of Filipino taste. We like the lightly boiled, the slightly soured, the dish that includes fish (or shrimp or meat) vegetables and broth. It is adaptable to all tastes ( if you don’t like shrimp, then bangus, or pork), to all classes and budgets, (even ayungin, in humble little piles, find their way into the pot), to seasons and availability (walang talong, mahal ang gabi? kangkong na lang!).…
