"Find Out Who Your Friends Are"

“Find Out Who Your Friends Are”

You find out who your friends are

Somebody's gonna drop everything

Run out and crank up their car

Hit the gas, get there fast

Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'

They just show on up with their big old heart

You find out who your friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back

wants to shake your hand

when you're up on top of that mountain

But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up

and see who's around then

Being surrounded by good friends is one of the best feelings in the world. Knowing that they will always be there for you and do anything that you need is a good feeling. When you have good friends surrounding you, you always have a support system when times are tough and you always have a shoulder to cry on or just someone to give you advice.

                Starting in middle school, I always had trouble making new friends and trusting the ones I had. They would either do something to lose my trust or make other friends. I would go from friend to friend and not really feel like there was a friendship with any of them. That continued through freshmen and sophomore years of high school. At times I felt lost because I never had that one friend I could tell everything to or do, “girl things” with. I was always jealous of my sister because she has had a best friend for years.

                

The last two years of high school were different. At this time Bre and I were friends, but not as close as we are now. Junior year we became a little closer and then senior year we became close enough to call each other best friends. Especially in the last year, she has been there for me in more ways to count. We have been through a heck of a lot together, and as I look back on those times, she was always been by my side and a huge supporter. I go to her with all my problems and I can honestly say that she gives the best advice. We tell each other everything and now I have someone I can do, “girl things” with. I trust her more than anyone. Just like the song says, “Somebody’s gonna drop everything,” and Bre definitely would for me. Even though the lyrics to this song do not exactly fit, the main point still gets across. The song also says, “Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare,” I know she would help me out in any situation.

                I am thankful for our friendship because I honestly would not know what to do without her. Like I said before she has helped me get through some pretty tough things. Going through middle school and some of high school without having loyal friends was tough, but I can now say Bre is truly my best friend. Throughout the last couple years I have definitely found out who my best friend is.
