How I Know I Matter To My Friends
Over the years I have become really good friends with a lot of people. However, I have two friends that absolutely mean the world to me and they will tell you the same thing. These two guys are named Jacob Bullock, and Will McCoy. They both went to a rival school “West Jones” while I went to Laurel High. Will and I met each other as soon as we started kindergarten. We both went to Saint Johns for elementary school. After 6th grade we were separated but stayed really close. Will played baseball at West Jones and that’s how I met Jacob, he was also a baseball player. It turned out Jacobs grandfather and my grandfather were best friends and our dads where also best friends. We really just clicked and have been really good friends since then. So me and Will have been lifelong friends and me and Jacob have been friends for about three years. Now Will is about 6’7’’ he’s a massive person. He has short dark brown hair.

We get ready to leave and I ask what are the teams because only me and another actually play golf so we would have to play best ball. Well I figured me and Will would be on the same team, but I was wrong they put me with Jacob. I was like well so much for me staying away from this guy. We get out on the course I’m over the teams because there is $200 on the line, and let me tell you I aint about to lose my money. Turns out Jacob is better at chewing tobacco and drinking a beer than he is at just taking a club out of the bag! So all the weight is on my shoulders. No worries though I’m killing it. Then something bad happened, I shanked a ball in a sand bunker that is placed on a hill on the side of the green. We are in trouble because I don’t do well out of the sand. Me and Jacob get over to my ball and I looked at him and said, “Look whenever I swing I’m going to throw a lot of sand up with my club

    Unbroken Essay

    Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken falls into a greatly interesting biographical category, bellying a compelling and immersive narrative of endurance when facing adversity, supported from associated historical sources. This all helps to create a sort of patchwork, contributing uniquely to going through the different sections, or “acts,” to Louis Zamperini’s life; from childhood days of delinquency, which would become channeled into an exceptional running career, spurned quickly by the call to World War II as a pilot, bringing about his captivity and torture at the hands of the Japanese. This encompasses the bulk of the story, with due emphasis given to the fallout of after the war ends, but the reasons for this being so effective is that Hillenbrand…

    I think the song see you again by wiz khalifa represents my 8th grade pretty well because I dropped some of my friendships, took up a few new ones, and my family connection has strengthened.
