We all meet people in our lives, and they shape us into the people we are, whether we are aware of it or not. However, there are some people in our lives who know just how much they have changed our lives, and have helped us to become the person we are today.
The one person I am glad to have met is one of my best friends. We met way back in sixth grade, when I was young and foolish, and had a very narrow mindset about a lot of things. However, through the year, we became friends, and I slowly felt myself becoming more open minded.
The last two years of middle school we drifted, until high school brought us back, and from there our amazing friendship flourished. I learned many things from my best friend. I learned what it means to be adventurous, not care what people think, stand up for myself and I became more aware of the world around me, and more open minded about things I definitely wasn't open minded about before.
My best friend made me a better person, one that I am proud of today, and if it weren't for her, I might not be this person that I am.
I've learned to question things. I've been inspired to create things, think things, do things I've never created, thought of or done before. My best friend has brought wonder and magic into my life, and stern words and important lessons that I've needed to hear as well, all when necessary.
So, I owe practically my life to her. I wouldn't be the person I am without her, and for that, I feel blessed.
