Creating a strong bond

From strangers to family

Melinda Castro, staff writer|May 9, 2023

Throughout middle school I met people who became my closest friends. They made me feel safe and comfortable. Eventually they felt like family.

 

School

School is a place where you go to study, but it is also a place where you meet people and create new relationships. Eventually you meet people that become your friends and then you’re able to create a strong friendship.

Strangers

Strangers are people you meet for the first time and don’t know who they are. When you first meet them you don’t expect to create fun memories with them. Eventually those strangers become people you start to want to see everyday and talk to everyday.

Friends

Friends are people you meet and automatically have a connection with. Friends are people you can always get along with and have fun with without them judging you. Friends are people who will always be there for you no matter what the situation is.

Struggle

Friends tend to go through struggles, but friends don’t go through them alone. They go through them with each other and help each other to get through them.

Chaos

There will always be chaos and drama at some point between friends but that chaos will make them closer to each other.

Getting through it

Friends may have conflicts and arguments but real friends will always push through those arguments and get through it together.

Family

Family doesn’t always have to be biological, or your blood. Family can also be people who you are extremely close too. My friends are family they make me feel safe, comfortable and happy. I love them. I love my non-biological friend family.
