Sometimes people who you think are your “friends” turn out to be far from that. In my opinion, everyone has at least one fake friend. When I say fake friend, I mean a person who pretends to be your friend but talks smack about you behind your back. I once had a “friend” in my life who I thought was a brother to me. We were like partners in crime; always together whether if it was on the soccer field or at school, we would always be joking around. As time went on, I found out from another friend that he was talking smack about me behind my back so I confronted him about it and he tried denying it but I already knew the truth so I just walked away and we never spoke again.  After that day it completely changed the way I saw him. It just goes to show that in the end, the only people who will always be there is your family. Now I have learned to choose my friends wisely; I prefer to have a small group of close friends who I can be myself around, rather than knowing the whole world trying to fit in by changing the way I am just to satisfy their needs.  People tend to walk in and out of our lives nowadays, but it is our choice on who we decide to keep in our lives forever. This whole experience made me a better person because it made me pull my guard up on who I let walk into my life and even when they’re in my life I still have my guard up because I never know what can happen; such as being back stabbed or betrayed or whatever. It is not a very good feeling so It Is something I would never want to do to anyone.

Family

            Family is definitely the most important thing in a person’s life.  My family is always there for me whenever I need something, when I am feeling blue or just when I need someone to talk to. Family is more than just a word; family is a group of people who would do absolutely anything for each other under any circumstance. My family immediate family includes my mom, two sisters, my nephew, grandma, and my father; those six people have been here since day one with the exception of my nephew because he is younger than me but nonetheless, he is also here to make me laugh and smile. Family definitely has an impact on what type of person you are when you grow up. My family isn’t a perfect family; no family is perfect. However, I wouldn’t trade any of my family members for the world. We have our arguments here and there, but then again what family doesn’t, right? Sometimes our arguments get to the point where someone says something that they don’t mean but everyone knows it was just in the heat of the moment. At the end of the day, we really don’t mean all the bad things that we say to each other and we know we love each other and are always here for one another when something goes bad. I grew up in a house with my mom, grandma, and my two older sisters. I believe living in a house full of women is the reason why I have so much respect for women and they have taught me so much on how to treat a woman. It is always a joy to have a new family member, I remember when my nephew was born; everyone was excited. I would even get a little jealous because everyone would focus their attention on him instead of me. I had to accept the fact that I was no longer the baby of the house. It feels pretty good to have another male in the house because now I have someone to watch sports with and play outside and all that. When you’re a teenager, you tend to push your family away because you want to spend all your time with your friends or significant other but as you grow up; you start to feel those friends drift away, especially after high school; and eventually you’re left with the only people who have always been there for you, your family.
