Pg. 62 A Christmas Memory Quickwrite

Friends do give each other love, and warmth, and care, and a shoulder to cry on. Friendships form in may different ways and situations. They may form after long periods of time. They may also form in short periods of time. Sometimes, you meet a new friend, and in the matter of days, you feel like you have known each other forever. Friendships are usually formed quickly when two people have the same interest or situation. For example, I've met many friends from clubs. Also, in situations, i've met many others. For example, you are a transfer student, and then, strong friendships forms between you and the other new transfer students. I've never really had that situation where i transfer and become friends with the other new students. I was usually with the old students. However, this summer, in the G20 Oversea students summer camp, i've formed strong friendships with many people. It is because we all grew up in similar situations, so friendships are more easily formed. These friendships would last long because nowadays there are social networking websites like facebook. There are many possible answers to why some friendships last while others dont. Some friendships last because maybe the two friends are very close, like they feel like they have known each other forever. Also, if they see each other often, then the friendship might last long. Some other friendships that do not last long may be caused by long distance relationships, even though there are social networking sites. Also, the friends maybe just formed in a short time, only got to know each others' names and nothing else. However, no matter what is the obstacle, friendship is extremely important in one's life. A person needs a friend. Without friends, it is like without air and water. Everyone can not be alone in life. They need someone to hold on to, someone to be held by, a should to cry on.
