Essay
Everyone has a best friend. Best friends are special to our lives because they are the people we can share secrets with, enjoy spending time with and will always be there when you need them. You might be thinking, “are best friends really that important? What about family?” Family is just as special but the difference is you get to pick your best friend! You select the person or people that you want in your life, you can’t do that with family.
One reason that everyone should appreciate their best friend is because they are the one person you can truly share secrets with. I have a best friend named Eva, I tell her everything! One time I told her something that I didn’t want anyone to know. When someone else asked her about it she responded with, “that’s none of your business.” That is a true friend that you can trust. People like Eva should be appreciated all the time for keeping our secrets safe.
Another reason everyone should appreciate their best friend is because they are fun to be around and people we want to have in our life. For example, whenever I am with Eva we always have a great time! We laugh, we play and we have inside jokes together. Best friends are there to have fun with us and they are people that we chose to have in our life.
The last reason is that best friends will always be there for you when you most need them. They keep us company when we are sad and celebrate us when we are happy. You might be wondering, “well my mom can keep me company when I’m sad? Why does my best friend have to?” The truth is, we might not always want to share things with our parents. For example, your mom says, “Go do your chores!” I would not go to my mom and talk about it with her. I would need to vent to someone else. I would go and talk about it to my best friend and tell her how my mom is being so annoying and how I don’t want to do my chores. Best friends will always be there when you need them most.
Do you have a best friend? Well if you do, hold on tight and don’t lose them because best friends will always be an important and special part of your life. And if you’re lucky like me, you’ll get a friend like Eva!
Reflection
I choose the topic everyone should appreciate their best friends because best friends don’t get appreciated often when they do a lot for you every day. One thing I enjoyed was getting to express what my best friend (Eva) does everyday for me and how good I feel inside when she does it. Lastly one thing that was difficult to write was my introduction because all I could think about was what to write for my reasons so I had to keep thinking how i would or could start of my story with an introduction but what was hard about that was their were so many ways or options that I could start off my story.
