Friendship test

My friendship was tested in a big way. On one Thursday evening my I was doing a routine face time with my best friend Chris R. He was freaking out. Not crying but I could tell something was wrong just by the way he said hello. I asked him whats wrong and he kept saying there was nothing wrong but there obviously was. I finally got him to tell me y saying that I'm his best friend and I won't say anything. He knew that was true so he told me. He said that he owed this guy $230 because he bought shoes from him a while ago and he couldn't pay for them because his dad took all his money. He said that he would sell his shoes for $70 and he still needed $160. I was struck with a decision. Should I give him the money and get in trouble with my parents or not give him the money and he get in trouble with his parents. I decided that I wouldn't give it to him because I didn't have a lot of money and plus I didn't want to get in trouble with my mom. He was talking about how non of his friends were helping him and he had known them since kg. I sprang up out of my bed and went to my moms room to get my money. I grabbed $100 and told him i would give it to him. He was so happy but then he said that the money was due my May 1st. He's Greek so his Easter is on a May 1st. He said that he would take money out of hs Easter money and pay him. Then he realized that there was know way to get the guy the money. As i realized this so did he. He had to give the guy the money before Easter because his family would be coming over so nobody could give him a ride. He needed $60 more. I jumped out of bed and I got $60 and when I showed it to him. He almost started crying. HE was so happy. He started saying how much he loved and how I was a brother to him. I started to cry a little bit and he asked me if I was crying and I acted like I wasn't. My mom found out a couple of days later because she looked at my money. She was pretty mad but she got over it in a short time.

Endings and Beginnings

At the end of this summer I want to look back at the end of this year and say that I completed my goals that I set. My goals are to beat my best mile time, make amends with everyone I have done something wrong to, not sit in the office ever again. I have one more but that is coming later. My goals for this summer are to buy a new pair of Jordan 11's, make new friends from church, keep in touch with my old friends. I have one more but that relates to the other one. My time at GMS hasn't been the greatest. But hay its all going to be over in what will probably feel like an hour.I have learned a lot of good things during my time in District 67. Some I will never use in my life and some that I will need to know on a daily basis. There have been many good times that I have shared with my friends and I hope I will not soon forget the fun memories that we share. I know you have meen wondering what my other goals were well the goal for the ending of the year is to get all A's and B's because then I will be able to go to Youth Conference in California with my church group. That is also my goal for my summer but their is something else that ties into Conference. I am going to ask out the girl the I have liked for over 3 years. My goal is for her to say yes. Like I said before Golf is a great place and I can only imagine how much I will miss it in high school.
