My best friend, Raquel Allem, and I have been best friends since we were born! Our families went to the same church growing up. Our families were very similar. We both grew up in ministry. Her dad was the a pastor and my parents were missionaries. We also had a bunch of brothers and sisters. She has eight siblings and I have nine siblings. We grew up doing pretty much everything together. We played house, sang in nursing homes and enjoyed nature together. When I was in third grade her family moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was one of the hardest things I ever had to go through. Through good times and bad times my Raquel and I always need to be working on our communication. As there family moved to Pennsylvania we talked on the phone, wrote each other and sometimes even visited each other. I have learned that we communicate best when we are face to face. We can see each others facial expressions and read each other more accurately. Even if we have not seen each other in a couple of months, we pick up like we saw each other the day before. I believe this because are communication messages are synchronous, which is “communication that takes place in real time” (DeVito 5). Whether we are talking face to face or on the phone, we try give each other backchanneling cues, which are “messages that let the speaker know you are paying attention” (DeVito 84). These are helpful in any situation of communication. We talk about everything together. Whether it is how
Do you have a bestfriend that feels just like a sister? My bestfriend is McKenah Kloes, her personality makes you smile everyday and we have the most crazy memories. Even know she loves to goof around she’s very intelligent.
Kailey and I have been best friends since preschool. We would often go to each others houses and play. I almost think of her as my sister. All through middle school we were always next to each other. We got an award, and it read "Attached at the hip award, Kailey and Rachel!" Kailey is a very well driven person, and when she sets her mind to something she always overcomes it.
She writes, “We are now in constant and continuous communication with our friends, co-workers and family over the course of a day” (Wortham 394). Even though the author’s partner lived more than 3,000 miles away, she used apps like: Google’s instant-messaging application, Gchat and others in order to correspond by voice and video that made her and other people feel close even though it’s over the screen. Physical communication is the most effective way to engage with individuals, as people are able to feel and visualize the presence of real emotions, but having a app like the one mentioned by the author, but if it’s not possible to communicate that way, communicating through the screen will fill the
Amelia Reiser is one of my best friends and I have known her since I was four and she was three. The Reisers normally live right outside of Philadelphia, but they have a farmhouse behind my house. We would play together as children, but we grew into our friendship, we were not close for a long time. Amelia was a happy-go-lucky child and was very energetic. I was a more serious child and would rather read a book then run around outside. It took awhile to mature and achieve a balance that both of us were happy with, but by the time I entered middle school we were very close, despite the distance. We would spend summers together usually at the farmhouse and she would also come up for weekends during the year.
A couple years ago I had a best friend, He was always by my side and was always protecting me. As we grew up we started getting apart from each other. Was it because we found something about each other and didn't want to tell one another, so we decided that going our own way would be the best. Our relationship got us together for a while we both had good things in common and that was what made us like siblings. Now that we have grown and know things about each other we still talk because we had that fear of rejection but we went through it and it came out to be a positive thing in our friendship.
Friendship has been very important in my life even though both my best friends have never met each other. I met Jackie and Rehma in grade school and since then I grew up with them. They both have been like my sisters because I do not have any siblings of my own. Rehma and Jackie have watched me grow up and have always been there for me. Though threw out the years I have learned many things from both of them. Although Rehma and Jackie are different in many ways, they only share one similarity.
My friend Ellijah is one of the most outgoing, animated and hard-working friends I have met. He is the same age as I am. We have been extremely close friends since 6th grade, when my transfer from Farmington Schools to Lakeville Schools happened. Our friendship started in Middle School gym class, and still continues today. One of the first things we learned about each other was, we both lived between two houses growing up, and had many brothers and sisters along with step-parents. Joining a new school was something scary to me and a hard to do. Especially becoming new to the city of Lakeville. Ellijah was there to hang out and help me whenever I needed it. We are still close friends today! We attend the same Church group at Hosanna, play on the same football team, and get food with Tommy, Bryce, and Jack on the weekends at Chipotle.
I am very grateful to have many great relationships with my family and friends, but the one that has really impacted my life or has shown me a brighter way is the relationship I have with my best friend. I met her when I was a freshman in high school; we met through mutual
When I started my high school, I found my current best friend, Marie. We are still friends to this day; she just left for college at George Mason. So once again I’m not with my best friend.
She influences me and encourages me to try new things everyday. I did not expect to meet such a lively person and to have them as my best friend. Together we have done so many things I didn’t even imagine doing before I moved here. Together we went to her house on Balboa Island and had a blast Memorial day weekend riding our bikes around the island and on the ferry. Then, she wanted me to do Torrey Pines Junior Lifeguards with her where I had the best four weeks ever. A few months later after a water polo camp, we both joined a club water polo team and have been playing for 8 months together. Finally, we did Junior Lifeguards again this summer and had a blast. There isn’t one specific memory that changed my life or made me enjoy it more, it’s the fact I had someone to share all these memories with. She is someone who definitely changed my
Around the age of 10, we started getting very involved with school sports. She lived in Byrdstown and found her gift which was cheering, of course mine was Basketball. As time went on, we only got to see each other at basketball games and special occasions. But, we always knew that we would be best friends forever.
Hannah Burlington was my best friend.We were always by each others side and we never let the other one down. We met in the 4th grade and have been best friends since then. We went to Reagan High school and now we are leaving to go to college.
Best friends forever we said. We pinky promised it would be for a lifetime, but I learned that some things change. Faith and I had the average friend relationship when we were younger. We would tell each other secrets, help each other with homework, have slumber parties and play dates, and just be fun kids together. Since we were in preschool, we were always there for each other through the ups and downs of childhood. We loved each other like no other, or so I thought.
For the family I grew up, we are starting to communicate more and do more outings compared to pre 2009 years. Phone contact is the main source, we share on the good times and whatever bad times may happen in the San Antonio household.
My grandma has always been my best friend since I could speak. Every Saturday we went to Steak and Shake then Cold Stone, it was our day. Things changed as I got older and my cousins were born, but we were still best friends when I was upset I called her, when I needed advice, she was the first person I came too, and if I wanted something she got it for me. She was the best person ever. But in one day everything changed.
