Blog:Friends what are they

First of all, I have like the best friends in the world. Many people have friends because they do their homework or take the blame for everything or maybe even to take advantage of them. It is their relationship not mine but what is a friend? For me to have friends is to have gold. Through the hills and valleys I am not alone. I have my God and my friends and however hard you try you can’t shake that. I rarely trust people and if I trust you that is super big. I want to be a good example for my friends and have them depend on me. There have been times when I am down and need them. My friends are different from others. They care not about the color of skin but the content of character. Do you know what that is like? They are great and mighty helpers who stick to you no matter what. To have that is more special than meeting a great king or queen of the past. So what is a friend? A TRUE FRIEND is loyal, kind, and trustworthy.

So, the first quality that a friend must have is loyalty. How are you loyal to your friends? I wish the world was perfect and had no betrayals. Sadly this is not true. Some famous true stories are Jesus and Judas and Julius Caesar and Brutus the senator. Tests of loyalty is if they sacrifice something like recess to help their friend and talk to them. How do you know a fake friend, when they leave you to be more popular with other kids or people. Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Are you that kind of person? I have faith that my friends are not like that. How many friends do you have now? More than five? You can almost guarantee you will lose one third to one half of those people. Are you a real friend? I have about five friend and one best friend. I know he is loyal. Are you?

A true friend is also kind. Are you kind? I know that people can drive you crazy and it is hard sometimes. My friends are more patient than a lot of people including myself. This translates into kindness. Kindness is something that we use to help or care for someone. To be kind all the time can be hard but we must. We are called to and a true friend does this very well.

Lastly a real friend is trustworthy. Do you tell everything to everyone? If you do then something is wrong and you shouldn’t be doing that. Private information is powerful information and if given to everyone than it can be used by everyone negatively. To have a trustworthy friend is great. You must be confident in them and trust them greatly.

In conclusion, loyalty, kindness, and trustworthiness are the three main character traits that make up a friend. My friends know who they are and also know they are greatly appreciated by me. The world needs people like Josiah Esparza (my best friend). It is not enough to be friendly, you have to be a friend.
