Some days we were good, some days we weren’t. But through it all, my best friend helped me change for the better.
Four years of being best friends with Jose came with up and downs but it was mostly filled with love and support. He was the friend I’ve never had, One who wanted me to do good and the one that never left my side even when I did something wrong.
One day when he proved to me he was a sincere friend was when I got caught by my parents for smoking. He told me over and over to not do it. He would be upset because I would do it and would tell me, “I don’t ever want to see you on the streets. I don’t want you to ever have problems with your parents.”
I lost trust with my parents, everything. When I needed the love that I lost he didn’t stop talking to me although he was so disappointed, he stood by my side.
I remember Jose’s exact words, “I’m not ever going to leave your side, even when you do the wrong choices. I care for you and I’m not going to let you feel abandoned, nor be alone. I want to help guide you.”
He pushed me to do better. To rebuild my parents trust and make the right decisions. Jose helped me open my eyes many times to make the right choices when I have been stuck in a cycle of wrong choices.To go to school and be able to cross that stage soon.Thanks to his sincere love and support, I have succeeded to this day.
