Building Foundations for Friendships- Personal Narrative

Building Foundations for Friendships- Personal Narrative

From the time that we are very small children, we begin to build our

foundations for friendships. Clearly, friendships are an important

part of life, whether it exists in childhood, adolescence, or

adulthood. However, many people travel through life without the

benefit of a true friend. Fortunately, I own the privilege of having

two best friends, Angie and Kelvin. Despite the fact that they are

complete opposites, Angie and Kelvin are of equally vital importance

approximately 190 lbs., and is almost five foot- seven inches tall. He

give you her honest opinion on how an outfit looks, but Kelvin may not

tell you he doesn’t like it because he doesn’t want to hurt your

feelings. Angie often intimidates people with her confidence.

Dramatic, determined, and honest are a few words that further describe

Angie’s personality. Kelvin often impresses people with his smooth
