   This is the first essay I am proud about..

   Seven years ago is when I met the most important person in my life.  It began on a long, and very tiring bus ride home from middle school. Now, mind you I wasn’t the most popular kid in middle school, nor was I the smartest. During this excruciating bus ride I was tapped on the shoulder by a short, but unique girl. She was wearing the most outrageous green scarf. Not knowing what she wanted, I inquisitively poked my head over to only get my head kicked by a brown leather boot. The moment I got kicked in the face, I knew the pain would be worth it in the end.

   Ever since that day we have been inseparable. Although we disliked one another, we secretly knew we needed one another. We were more than just two people, we were two halves of a whole. Weeks turned into months, months turned into years and we eventually began to open up. For the first time in my life I felt like I finally connected with someone. Meeting her changed my life so much. One page cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am for meeting her. We have dealt with so much together. Family problems, depression among other things. She believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself.

   
   I remember many times we would just get home from school, plop ourselves on the couch and have hour longs conversations. Jumping from one things to the next. We felt as though we were so much more intellectual then our peers. Believing we had the maturity level of an adult. Not worrying about the stereotypical things in life, we worried about what our lives were to become. Before we knew it, the whole day drifted away.
   
   To be quite honest, I do not know where I would be without her. She brought that side of me out that I was afraid to show to anyone. I opened myself up to her and she accepted willingly. In a way we grew up together, we are long lost brother and sister in our eyes. Our friendship is like a marriage, arguments occur, emotions are flying, but in the end the love is always there.

   
   This girl is the love of my life, my confidant, and my best friend. She has given me the world, taught me about myself and allowed me to be my own person without the thought of judgment. I am the person I am today because of her, not the anti-social boy sitting in the first seat on the bus. That kick in the face, truly was the sign that my life would never be the same.
