WEEK 1
Write about your best friend
Fifteen years ago I met my best friend from childhood, Jealerie. From Head Start our
friendships has been strong to this day. We are neighbors, best friend, and life made us sisters.
She is very special to me, and I know that I am also for her. We studied together for life. We
parted in eleventh grade, but still we did not move away. She has always been present in my
birthday and all success and happy moments for me. She has been with me during the worst
times. She has been with me through heartbreaks and family lost. I can’t be angry with her
because my spirits fall to the ground. We tell the truth to each others face even if it hurts and
without getting angry. We advise and support each other. I miss her so much as she is studying in
Aguadilla and for that reason she are staying there, I faithfully visit her every weekend. I
honestly don’t know what I would do without her. I thank God for giving me the privilege of
having the best friend in the world.
