When you feel sad and betrayed
Who can you count on every single day?
When you feel lost and alone
Who will be there for you in every way?
When you've made mistakes and bad decisions
Who can you count on to tell you you're wrong?
When you feel you can't go on
Who will be there with a feel-better song?
Look into your heart and you will find
That person you can trust is not far away.
Look deep into yourself, don't give up,
For if you do, it's yourself you'll betray.
When you're looking for answers
To all your questions and dreams,
There is one person you can count on,
It's impossible, I know, it seems.
But take a few moments to look deeper inside.
Look into your heart and there you will see.
You'll be surprised when you find out
That you've been looking at ME.

The reason why I have chosen this poem is because it touches the inner most feelings of my heart. One thing that is needed to everyone is one friend and without a friend to be there for you, it becomes hard to bear the fact that you think as if you are alone. There is always one person who is there and will be there through the hardest times in your life. He/she will help you and guide you through a place that you will appreciate later on in life and stop and think to yourself and laugh about them.
Friends are there for you and you must appreciate the fact that they are there for you. It is not always fun and laughter that comes with friendship, but also sorrow and tears that would often get you guys even closer. Never leave a friend feeling left behind, for it will also become known to yourself that you have been torn apart by little reasons in a short matter of time. Even after you have gone through all those times of hardship in order to get so far, it is a simple mistake that leads and builds up onto a bigger mistake if you do not forgive and be forgiven.

My Favorite Book
My favorite book was titled “The five people you meet in Heaven”. At first when I had read the cover of the book, I was thinking of how it would not have been much of a book to read at all; however, the interesting part about this book is that it starts out as a day where everything seems to be going as the usual. Eddy “the maintenance” is now 80 years old and has been the owner of the amusement park ever since he was around his thirties. As he was remembering his past experiences while relaxing, his eyes suddenly jerks open from the sound of a lady screaming. One of the cables from the Ferris wheel have been broken and now it was a race against time that would determine the fate of the people in the Ferris wheel. Although they were managed to help all the people inside it, as the cable became loose and snapped, there was a little kid that was helplessly frozen in place from fear and was just below the Ferris wheel when Eddy raced into action, moving as fast as he could and in desperate situation he leaped to push the girl so that at least she would be saved instead of him.
The experience that he endures during his time in “heaven” is the part where all of the important events occurred in order for him to understand many of his past mistakes and regrets to forgive the burden that is within his heart.

This I Believe
I believe that friendship needs to be demonstrated with the act of kindness. It is not the usual idea of knowing whom you are speaking, but knowing the actual purpose of feeling comfortable and willing to open up to them that makes the word friendship a very special meaning. Many times, I believe that the person you see everyday is the person you will know for the rest of your life; however, life is a fact of illustration of unknown happenings that would anonymously pull the both of you away.
Three years ago I transferred from Guam to Saipan and attended Saipan International School. At first, I was ashamed and embarrassed when many people stared at me. As it was my first day of school, I met a classmate who always acted a bit weird from all those other people. He tended to stand out more than anyone else in class. He introduced himself to me as if he had known me for a long time and touched me as if I were his girlfriend. Three years passed, and we have become the best friends that would rather stand out and show we have become brothers from different mothers. Till this day, I enjoy the things that we do and talk about, whether it is about school subjects, girls, and personal things.
At one point, a friend may become more than a friend. That person becomes a “lover”. Sometimes it takes more than one time to get the right person, but in the end it is all the worthwhile. Most people in life do have to try more than once, and through the excruciating pain of losing a first love you become stronger and stronger. When you find that one special person, they become you’re everything, even though that person wasn’t your first love. Everything meaning, best friend, soul mate, companion, etc..
Friendship is actually one of the most important facts in life. You see, not only are friends there for just hanging around when you’re bored. They’re there for the laughs, the moments, and the makings of memories. Friends are there for whenever you need to tell secrets, or you just want to get away from the world and laugh as hard as you can. Some friends last for a life time, and others are there for those few moments. True friends are not the people that you’ve known the longest, but are the people who know you the most.
