Narrative: Final Paper

My friend Terrin and I are always going out to do something fun together. One time we went out to play basketball; we were having so much fun. We were playing so hard it got tiring. We were on the same team and were playing against a couple of our friends. So we did have a lot of fun. They were barely beating us most of the games but we usually made a come back toward the end of the games. I don’t know, people sometimes get too competitive in sports and get blinded by it. Terrin and I have such a great relationship as friends that the competitiveness doesn’t blind us to the point that it hurts us. Actually it doesn’t really affect us at all. Do you have a friendship like that? Where if you do something wrong, you can be easily be forgiven again? We have been friends for twelve years. Do you have a strong relationship like my friendship? I admit I have done some really bad things but he has forgiven me and stayed with this friendship for all these years.

When I first met my friend Terrin we were just friends like every one else. Gradually, over the years, our relationship has grown stronger, long lasting, and more meaningful. He has been the leader in our friendship; he’s better at it then me. He is the great role model in my life but sometimes (most of the time) when I’m not around him I don’t follow his example. He always did better than me in school, home, and sports. We always did things to impress the other. Especially when we watch each other play or when we play together or against each other. A couple months back, we invited a bunch of friends over to play a basketball game. We went to the church basketball court. We played for hours but we lost some games and won some. They were always close games though.

This friendship that I’ve had has been good for me. It has helped me to realize that all relationships are important, because I have known him for so long and we have been such close friends. Terrin and I always did things to have fun. We always supported each other. When I went to his basketball games and also his baseball games, I went to support him. He would come to my wrestling meets and football games. He was always supportive of the positive things I did; he also discouraged the bad things I would tend to do.

From my friendship I have realized how important they can be. Because they are so much a part of everyone’s lives, a lot of the times they can be taken for granted. You don’t realize how important they can be. Terrin has taught me to be a better person because he has never judged me. He was often disappointed in me, but he did his best to help me out. Treasure your friendship because it could.
