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.
It is beautiful that you have such a special person in your life that you can share everything with! It is obvious that “true” friends are very hard to come by nowadays. When we are blessed with one in our life, it is vital that we recognize it and never take them for granted. I have had a friend with who our relationship was very similar to yours. We were inseparable for nearly two years. Unfortunately, our paths led down different roads, and we became distant. I wish the best on your friendship, and I know that you realize just how truly blessed you are to have someone such as Tori in your life!

Your friend ship is amazing. I really like that she is still on your mind, even though you moved away from her. You guys truly are inseparable from each other. Yet, you guys are not perfect; you guys did fight some. Though, like true friends, you got through whatever differences that you had and moved on with your friendship in tact. Now, all that I can wonder is if you guys will ever meet up. Possibly go to college together, or just visit if you can like old friends often do. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteTrue friends never leave one another. That’s what makes me think of you and Tori. I love how she still talks to you even though you are two thousand miles away. That is how Chloe and I’s relationship is. I love how we won’t talk for days and then I’ll pick up the phone and it’s like she is here. Cherish and nurture that friendship because friends like that will last forever.
