The
prompt for this blog is most fitting for the time of the school year. It is
drawing near the time that us seniors, class of 2013, spread our wings from our
nest and embark on the most terrifying journey, life. Mrs. Caffey asked us to
write about someone we have met in high school that has influenced our lives
greatly. I cannot think of anyone else other than my best friend Victoria
Treiber; or as everyone here knows her as, Tori.
I met Tori my freshman year at my previous high school
back in Orlando. When I first met her, I did not get the best first impression.
I thought she would be fake and rude because she looked like most of the girls
at the school who did act like that. I know that is very shallow. We started to
talk more often and I started to trust her. Within no time, she and I were inseparable.
We did everything together. If people invited one of us places, they knew that
we would be with each other. We were a package deal.
We have been through a lot together as well. From being
best friends freshman year, to absolutely hating each other sophomore year, then
back to being best friends our junior and senior year. Through everything, we
never stopped knowing we were always there for each other. Even at times when
we detested one another, we would still talk to one another if we had problems
in our lives and we just needed someone to talk to.
Through our entire friendship, she has taught me many
things about life. She has taught me that no one can bring me down beside
myself. She taught me that I need to be less of a push over when it comes to
people asking me for favors. She taught me I need to love myself before anyone
else can ever love me.
She is my other half. I can always tell her anything and I
know she will never judge me for anything. I will never forget her and I hope
that we stay friends for as long as we are alive.
