Do You Have True Friends?
Keri Leigh Ratcliff

What is your definition of a true friend? My ideal true friend is someone who I can talk to about anything, I can be myself around this person, they are always willing to talk and hang out not just when it's convenient for them or just because they need something, my ideal true friend is someone who doesn't use me because I can do things they can't. I have went through several "best friends". These friends are the ones that are only around long enough for them to get something out of it and once they get what they needed they stop talking to you. It really hurts when someone you thought was your best friend doesn't talk to you but can talk to everyone else doesn't it? People will always claim they're your friend when they really aren't. Even little kids are willing to be friends with everyone. so why can't we be that way to? There are certain people in your life that can be considered your true friend.

1. Your parents.

My mom has always been here for me no matter what. She's always willing to listen and give me advice. I have my step dad who is willing to buy me anything I want and take me any where I need to go.

2.Your grandparents.

I have the two most craziest grandparents ever! They are always willing to make me pancakes and help get me out of trouble. God.. God has given us the best advice of all time in the Bible. The information we get from God in the Bible is advice we need to hear. He loves us no matter what.

3.God-siblings.

I have the best god brother of all time! He is so sweet and kind hearted. He can always be seen smiling and is a good song leader.

4.Church family.

I have god parents at church that I know I can rely on no matter what. I have friends at church that I know I can always go to if I need a laugh.

5. Those who you have tons of stuff in common with.

I have great friends now that I'm in college who are in band with me. They are always there for me and can always make me laugh even when I'm extremely tired. Nobody needs a part time friend! People we thought were our best friends will start acting different.

Sometimes we will get looked at strange for not going along with the crowd, get made fun of and looked at get talked about. There is a song that we often sing at our church called Where No One Stands Alone. This song always reminds me that yes I get to where all I want to do is cry at times but I am not alone and neither are you. We truly have a friend in Jesus. No matter how bad things get and how much you feel like you have no one to turn to you always have God.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
