Declaration


The concept I choose to do is friendship. Friendship means a lot to me and is a very important aspect in my life. I depend on my friends a lot in my life for keeping secrets and helping me with tough situations. My best friend’s name is Caitlin; she is always there for me and has my back no matter what. We both have gone through the same situations such as boy problems and friend issues. When were faced with these situations we turn to each other for advice and comfort. Like last year when a boy told me he liked me, he told Caitlin the same thing. He told both of us not to say anything to anyone. For a while we didn’t tell anyone, but the one of us said something to the other. We then realized that he had been lying to us all along. He had been making two best friends keep secrets from each and putting them against each other. We realized that a boy wasn’t worth losing a best friend. She is a great friend who I know for a fact that she will always be my best friend through everything.
People around me influenced me to pick this concept. When I see older people with their friends it makes me want to keep long lasting friendship with the friends I have now. My mom is still friends with her best friend that she has had ever since third grade. Our two families have been close ever since my sisters and I were born. Their friendship has been strong enough to last this many years. This has influenced me to have close friends and have long lasting friendship.
My concept of friendship is in some composers works. Two artists that I know of that have pictures of friendship are Picasso and Oleg Zhivetin. Some songwriters that sing about friendship are Bill Withers “Lean On Me,” Ben E. King “Stand By Me,” and Hannah Montana “True Friend."

  1. Ah yes, friendship. A intricate and complicated concept, I think. Friendship, the lasting connection of two or more persons that are so similar it's scary. But ask yourself this: would your 'friends' be willing to take a bullet for you as you parents would? THAT is the absolute extent of "friendship". Anything less is a futile gesture of compassion, at best. To have another human being, who, having no legitimate blood relation to you whatsoever, give their life for yours. It sounds like you 'want' to have long lasting relationships with good friends, which is all very fine and dandy, but are you implying that the ones you have now haven't blossomed yet? I can understand if they haven't, but see if you can strengthen those bonds you have with your friends now so you have them throughout your high school years. Trust me, you'll need 'em.
