dairy entry on friend birthday celebration
Answers
Today, one of my friends had a birthday party. I had a really awesome time hanging out with my friends. When we went swimming, I was the only one who wouldn’t dive into the pool. You could tell that I wanted to, but I was still afraid. You see, I know how to swim, and if I were stranded in a lake, I could stay afloat for a little while. But I’m definitely not a strong swimmer. My friends know this, but they also knew how much I wanted to dive in. So as I stood at the edge of the pool, unable to take a step forward, one of my friends asked, “Do you want me to push you in?” I nodded. When she did, I realized that there was nothing to be afraid of.
So when another girl shoved me in after that, I was prepared. Besides, I wasn’t the only one that she pushed in the pool. But to be honest, I think I was the one who needed it the most—not necessarily from that girl, but from my friend. For true friends give you a push when you need it.
When they know you can swim, but just can’t muster up the courage to dive in, they give you a little push in the right direction. Then, you realize what you were missing out on the whole time, and you never let that opportunity go to waste again. Overall, true friends help you to overcome your fears so you can become a stronger person. I guess this has happened many times this year, and it will happen several more—-my friends taught me more than I could ever know alone, even if they weren’t always right. But that is why I trust in God above all else.
However, I never let them drag me down when they were wrong, because I knew that I could trust in myself to have good judgment. But without my friends’ support, I wouldn’t be the girl that I am now. Besides, even if friends aren’t always right, as long as they are kind, dedicated, caring, and with good intentions, then chances are, they’re pretty awesome people. I know that my friends are, and I don’t know what I could do without them.
Your friend, Me
