Friends are just about the most important thing to me now. They have brought back feelings I didn’t have anymore. They have uplifted me and helped me through everything that I have and still continue to go through.
Without those people in my life, I wouldn’t know where I would be. I love every single one of them; they all bring me so much love and joy into my life.
I had lost a lot of it four years ago, and when they came into my life, I got a new type of joy back into my life.
Having people by your side who love you and only want the best for you can inspire you to want to be better for yourself.
Senior Lily Alvarez, my best friend here at Oso,s said, “They offer me mental support through the challenges I face in my life. Without them, I wouldn’t look forward to coming to school. I enjoy them.”
Having her as a friend in my life has been such an amazing thing I got to experience. Now, without her, I wouldn’t know what to do. She brings me such an immense amount of happiness.
She brings out the best in me and wants me to be the best I can be.
Having good friends, not just having people around you, will have you feeling as though life is important and that you shouldn’t give up. If you give up, you won’t be able to go out and experience the things that you are getting to.
There have been so many times when I have wanted to just give up and ignore all my friends because of how much I was struggling. But then I took the time to talk to them about my issues, and it helped me realize I don’t want to lose them. I want to keep being by their side and keep having them by my side for a long time.
Senior Axel Enriquez said, “They make me a better person. They make me a lot happier, and they give me a reason to get up in the morning. I know that I can go to them with whatever I need and they will help me out.”
Without the amazing friends I have now, I wouldn’t have done so many things that I’ve done. With my friends, I have gotten to go to concerts and have those nice bonfires at the beach. Just spend time driving around and looking at nice views with one another.
As well as doing everyday basics with them. I wouldn’t want to spend my time at school with any other people.
Regardless of how happy you are now, go out and make some real, good, and amazing friends. They will make you feel as if everything is going to work out.
With the right people around you, just doing anything together will make you feel better.
Just going out to the gym or to the store with your friend can bring you joy because you’re getting to spend time with them.
I don’t feel alone anymore with the people who have come into my life.
So many people will come and go into your life, but being able to find a group that makes you happy and is good to you is the best thing you can get.
It’s such a beautiful thing to feel and experience.
Senior Dante Gutierrez said, “Friends help me feel better about myself. They help me laugh and have good times. As well as getting my stuff done, they will take me far in life.”
Good friends give us this dopamine where we feel as though we can take on the world with good people by our side. It’s a euphoric feeling of having people who love and care about you.
Senior Bibek Bhullar here at Osos said, “I can go to them and talk to them, and they can give me advice.”
Now that I have become a part of a good community, my happiness has improved a lot. They don’t know it, but they have helped me through so much that I haven’t talked about. Them just being next to me in the lunch line or in the car makes me feel less alone in the world. Things do get better.
