Taylor met her best friend Grace in 6th grade when they both transferred to and shared classes at Eagle Crest Charter Academy in Holland, MI. They bonded over sharing a locker and having the same homeroom and math class in 7th grade, and became close friends after Grace invited Taylor to her house, where they pretended to be football players in the backyard. By 8th grade, they spent every weekend together at each other's houses and went to the mall, becoming best friends who were nearly inseparable.

1. HOW DID I MEET MY
FRIEND GRACE?
By: Taylor VerVane

2. I moved to
Holland, MI in 6th
grade, and
transferred to Eagle
Crest Charter
Academy. Where I
met my best friend
Grace.

3. In 7th grade, I shared a locker with
Grace which made us begin to talk
more. We also had the same
homeroom and math class.

4. Later in the year
she invited me
over to her
house. We took
pictures in her
backyard and
pretended we
were football
players.

5. Our friendship grew
all through 7th grade,
but we started to
become best friends
in 8th. I would go to
her house every
weekend.

6. 8th grade we
would always
write notes to
each other in
math class,
and go to the
mall together.
We were
together all the
time.

7. Our favorite thing to
do was go to Target, we
would go there in the
middle of the night. We
walked all over town.

8. Around March
2011, WO Stock
came around and
we went with her
brothers. We
went both nights.

9. Then in April it was
the time of my
birthday. Me and her
went to Michigan City
and stayed the night
in a hotel, then went
shopping at the
outlet mall.

10. I soon moved out of Holland, the day I left I
went to see her. We took pictures and gave
me the pet goldfish.

11. This winter she
came to see me in
Gaylord for a week. I
always keep in
contact with my
friend Grace.
