My Family and Friends

Family and Friends: A Gift That Lasts Forever

                ”Families are like branches on a tree. We grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one.”

                My father is Alfredo Andrade and my mother is Teodora Andrade. My father works as a tricycle driver, and my mother is a housewife. I have three siblings. They are Aldrin, Allan, and Arrianne.  We live at Arabella Homes, Pulo, Cabuyao City, Laguna.

My family may not be perfect, but I can say that I am very happy to have them. We love each other so much. Though misunderstandings are inevitable, at the end of the day, we always reconcile with each other.

        We like to watch movies together when all of us are at home. Our parents always support us. They guide us so that we will have a better future. They only want what’s best for us so I understand if they get mad when we make mistakes.  

     I cannot imagine a life without my family by my side. They are very important to me because they are part of my life. Without my family, a large part of my life would be missing.

I treat my friends as my family. It’s the friends we meet along the way that help us appreciate the journey. I have made many friends and I can say that most of them are true.

My friends play a very important role in my life. They encourage me when I’m sad, they are always there to support me. They listen and help me when I have problems. Aaron, Maui, JM, Jim, Jerome, and Vanvan are my first friends. We are neighbors. We are friends since we were kids. Hannah is also a very good friend and we treat each other as siblings. She's a friend that will always care and be there for me.

I’ve known some of my true friends since elementary. Martin, Alvin, Rev, and I were classmates since Grade 1. Kynn transferred to our school when we are in Grade 5.  We are classmates until Grade 10. But sadly, I got separated from them in Grade 11, yet we are still on the same school. We always see each other and bond together. We call our group Buto Buto Gang because most of our classmates say that we are so thin. Emman, Ivan, John Mark, and Neil are also my friends.

Lenard, Em, Charlene, and Ryian are my friends since elementary. We have made many memories together. Though we are on different schools now, we will always be friends.

They are my new-found friends. We call our group Tropang Kusina. Martin, Alvin, Rev, Eli, Karla, AC, David, Pau, and Lynneth are some of the friends that I am comfortable with. 

I want to mention all of my friends, but they are too many. Even though I won’t mention them here, they will always know that they’re my friends and they will be always part of my life.

          I am very thankful to have my friends. They multiply the joy and divide the sadness. I am blessed to have faithful and true friends.  Friends are never apart. Maybe in distance but never in heart.
