My Best Friend
I met my best friend when I was in eighth grade. At that
time we were only acquainted, but eventually, we became
friends. When we entered high school, we become friendlier
and since then have always been together. We never thought
we had many things in common. Today she is more than my
best friend, she is my sister. She is a really good friend that
has always been with me at all times. She has supported and
advised me as a sister. We are friends, soul sisters, as my
best friend not many exist. That person I want as my sister is
called Denisse.
