Essay on Duality


The relationship that I will talk about is between my hometown best friend, Colin, and I. We met when we were about twelve years old through one of my other good friends at the time. The earliest event that I can recall with this friend was when we both went with our friend Jack to a professional paintball tournament. He invited both of us, and we met each other through him. At this tournament we interacted a lot through sleepovers and spending countless hours out in the hot sun watching our favorite professional teams play paintball. Colin is the same age as I and has lived in the suburbs of Chicago his whole life. We have numerous things in common, like our musical interests, leisurely activities, and goals in life. Having a great city, Chicago, so close to us has allowed us to bond more through it. We have spent days together, and with others, in the city doing anything you can imagine there is to do in a gigantic city like Chicago.
            Factors in our relationship include aspects like we are very honest with each other, and have the some views about the rest of our friends. There are too many stories associated with our friendship, and I can’t choose just one that describes us. That’s what makes us as good of friends as we are. One time his stomach burst and he went to the hospital and nearly died, and had to stay there for an entire month. This was a terrible time in our lives but we’ve been stronger ever since. It happened while he was at my house and if I did not take him home to his house so his mom could take him to the hospital, something worse probably would’ve happened. I respect him a lot. We will be friends for a very long time. When I graduate we will probably get an apartment in Chicago for a year or two with two of my other good friends.
