It the was summer of 2012 and I was about to enter my first year of middle school. During that summer I also met one of my closest friends to this day. If I remember correctly I met Isaac during a small gathering. At first, I thought that I would just see him that one time but then I realized that he was also going to the same middle school as me. My middle school was somewhat big with a lot of students so I thought I would just see him once in a while and that we would never talk to each other. Later on, I found out that his mom with my mom were friends, so I figured that me and him would talk to each other in the future, and I was right. Once my first year of middle school ended,me and Isaac started to hang out more. I guess what started the friendship was the fact that we both enjoyed playing sports and video games. So that summer we spent most of our days going to the park playing handball, soccer, baseball, you name it. We would also play video games at night once in a while.

Next came high school and I think this was the time when we became close friends. I say that because me and Isaac went to the same high school. The summer before freshman year was when we became the closest of friends. We would do different things almost every day and talk every day. Some days we would go to the city, other days we would just chill and grab some food with our friends, and sometimes we would just go to the park. That summer without a doubt was the most fun I’ve had and also the time when me and Isaac became really close. After that summer we would open more up with each other. If he needed advice, I would give him some or if he needed help I would help him, and same vice versa

Even though I and Isaac are different in many ways we still to this day remain close friends. Looking back at our friendship it’s interesting how we met and how far we have come. I would say that I am grateful to him for the advice he has given me, his help, and his friendship.
