Friends Till The End
February 14, 2020
People in sports have a lot of pride, and students always look at them, but as a school they also have different groups who have the same pride. Some groups aren’t as involved but still find a bond to mesh together.
Stephanie Perez, 1, said when she was in seventh grade at Guillen Middle School, she met Dillon. They didn’t even have a class together, they just saw each other on the hallways because Perez had choir in front of the guitar class that Dillon had.
“He just seemed like a nice person, I wanted him to be my friend, and eventually he became,” Perez said.
Perez said when she was a freshman, she met Joseline in algebra class with Mr. Flores. Joseline was the type of girl that will always make you laugh, and Stephanie and her complemented each other very well. “One time Mr. Flores separated us, and Joseline started to laugh so hard that I couldn’t handle laughing, too,” Perez said.
For the most part they met in middle school, and they have been together since then, they have been together on a journey of discoveries, and joy.
Karen Vela, 1, said that during her freshman year, she met Vanya Cardenas, 1. They had a few classes together, and they enjoyed lunch time together.
“I met Vanya in Juarez, well at least I knew she existed, but not personally until we started high school freshman year,” Vela said.
Vela said after the fall semester one friend of hers named Danna introduced to her Perez, Joseline and Dillon. She was and
still is a shy, and introverted person, so she didn’t get along as quickly as she did with Cardenas, but eventually they became friends.
“I noticed that we had different person- alities, but I thought we could get along very well,” Vela said.
Cardenas, said that she remembers when one time during lunch they had speakers with music, and Karen went to pick a song for her to dance. It was “Machika” by J Balvin.
Cardenas knew the choreography, and another girl came in, and it became some type of dance battle. They recorded them, and uploaded to Facebook and it went viral.
“It was my time to shine, but I was really embarrassed, but it was a great memory,” Cardenas said.
Sebastian Carrillo, 1, said when he was in seventh grade at Guillen when he joined the band class. In that class, he met Octavio Santana, 10, who played the trumpet just like Carrillo. Later, Santana introduced him to a friend named Julio.
“At first I thought that Julio and Octavio didn’t like me, and they only talked to me because we had classes together,” Carrillo said.
Santana said that he remembers when they used to have a class together and they used to talk a lot during that class. They sometimes annoyed other students, even the teacher.
“In sixth grade, we were assigned to sit together, then the teacher separated us because we played too much, but we did our work, though,” Santana said.
Julio Martínez, 10, said when he first met Santana, and Carrillo, his first impression wasn’t good at all. He continuously said that they kept looking angry.
“At first I didn’t like them because they didn’t look very friendly,” Martinez said.
Carrillo said his best memory was when there was a time when they left band practice, and suddenly out of nowhere an old man came out. He didn’t want to pass next to the man, he was really scared.
“The rest of the way home we were all laughing at how I didn’t want to pass just because of the man,” Carrillo said.
Having a relationship is very important for some people because people need somebody to hear or give advice. That relationship is important because the person can be your confidant, BFF, girlfriend or boyfriend.
A true friendship is Araceli Cano and Jackie Urrutia, 12, who have been best friends for six years.
“We met at Guillen Middle School in eighth grade by a friend we had in common and at first Jackie was not really liking the idea of me hanging out with them and we started to hang out more. We became good friends then coming to Bowie we became best friends.,” Cano said.
Cano said that the best way for them to resolve their problems is talking about the problem and search- ing for a solution.
Another friendship that is a true friendship is Ashley Gurrola, 1, and Josue Munoz, who aren’t in the same high school but their friendship began in middle school in Juarez.
“He was a new student in middle school and he didn’t talk with anybody, and I was the first person to talk with him and he and I met our defects and qualities, and always he helped me and I helped him and we decided to be best friends,” Gurrola said.
Daisy Cuellar and Sanahy Mustamante, 10, also
have been friends for a long sevent years. But they’ve had conflict, as any friends may have.
“So one time I went out with Daisy, and there was girl that I don’t like. Because of her fault Daisy and I fought and the next day I went to her house she get mad and we stop talking,” Mustamante said.
After talking it out, they realized they want their friendship to last forever because they have a great thing going.
