Kevan's Essay
In class we had to write essays on someone/something that is special to us. This is what Kevan wrote:
When I was given the topic of an important person in my life I was faced
with a dilemma. At first I thought that I was going to write about my
family, and I even started to write the paper on them, but it proved to be too
hard to write on. Then I thought of my friends, and well, that proved to have its
problems. What friend do I write about? I've decided to write on a friend
that has been there through thick and thin with me. Belinda.
I think that Belinda's best quality is her honesty. If you tell her
something then right of the bat she gives you an honest answer. This will
seem childish but at our age it's important. She'll give you her opinion on
people. So guess that you could say that she is a very opinionated person
It's dirty job, but someone's got to do it.
Responsibility, that's a big thing that I think everyone should have. Not
many people have it but the few that do; they have a strong sense of it.
Belinda is one of those people. You can tell her anything from family
problems to a fight you've had with another friend. Good thing is she never
tells anyone anything you say, which is a benefit if you need to tell something
that you don't want anyone else to know.
Here is probably the most important thing that a close friend should be:
caring. If you don't care about people's feelings and opinions then there
is no reason for you to have any social interaction. I've met a lot of people
who breeze through life without caring for people. Belinda; she cares for
everyone. It doesn't matter if what your problem is, even if it's with her. She
takes it all into consideration before she makes up her mind about a
situation.
Well, to sum all this up, a good friend is a lot of things to me.
Responsible, honorable, and caring. Those are the ingredients to a good
friend; Belinda. So if you ever find yourself in a bad situation, just find a good
friend and talk.
