My+Favorite+Memory

Jennifer G.     English 7A 5/17/08  My Favorite Memory Throughout my life, I’ve experienced things that are memories I want to keep forever, and some things that I wouldn’t want to have as memories. Instead of thinking about the things that are painful to remember, I would like to focus on something that I would like to experience again. This event occurred when I was only 3 years old. When I met my best friend, it was the first day of school. I walked into the classroom lonely, knowing nobody. I saw many kids; however, I didn’t know a single one. I walked into the play area, and immediately, a girl with short blonde hair confronted me. She asked me if I wanted to be friends. She told me her name was Jackie. I said yes, happy that I had a friend to be with. From then until many years later, I have always had my best friend by my side. My life would be very different if I hadn’t met Jackie, and hadn’t had this experience. I wouldn’t have had someone as loyal to tell everything to. This experience has shaped my life and who I am as a person in many ways. I have always been happy knowing that I had such an amazing friend. I have become a better person throughout knowing my best friend because we have gone through many things, and she has taught me a lot. This experience is something I will remember forever!
