English- Friend Essay

“Friends are like stars, you can’t always see them but, they are always there”- Santiz. My first day of middle school, I met Katy on the bus. We were in the same grade, but never actually talked to one another. I decided to sit with her and make conversation. We have been best friends ever since. Katy is my best friend, she is really close with my family, she has helped me through personal crises and she has taught me how to play volleyball. Katy has always been very close with my family. For as long as I can remember, they have always gotten along. They have gotten along so well that my little sister looks up to Katy and goes to her when she needs advice. My family loves her so much, they even invite her on family camping trips with us. I am so thankful they get along so well. Katy has always been at my family’s side through smiles and crisis. Katy has always been there when a family crisis has occurred. When my grandpa died last year, I was out of state on a camping trip. Katy called me and talked to me the whole night. She really helped me through this personal tragedy. At his funeral, she was there for the visitation and funeral. Afterword, she took me out to the movies to take my mind off things. I can count on her because I know she will always be there in good times and bad. Up until 6th grade, I never knew how to play volleyball until Katy taught me. We were messing around in her yard one day and she decided to teach me. The level of patience she had with me was unbelievable. She taught me so much, we both ended up making the school team the next year. Many of my fondest volleyball memories have been with her. When someone is very close with your family, stays by your side through a crisis and teaches you to play a sport, you become best friends. Because of all these reasons, Katy and I are inseparable. I am proud to call her my best friend. How did your best friend come to be?
