Jillian Marion's Autobiography (submitted 5/9/06)

A best friend is a sister that destiny forgot to give us. My best friend Danielle and I have been best friends for as long as I could remember. When we were a little bit younger, in about third grade, we hated each other. I had the same group of friends as she did , but we sort of just always ignored each other. Finally, in about fourth grade, we were on the same soccer team and we became inseparable. Throughout the summer, we went to the shore together, and I had the time of my life. We went fishing on a boat and crabbing in the back of her grandma’s house. We also went out to dinner at our new favorite restaurant and ate hectors then walked to a ice cream shop. We are the kind of best friends that wear the same clothes and don’t really care. We have so many inside jokes and times that will stick with me forever. Basically, every weekend we hung out and did whatever seemed to be fun, from games that involved running around our houses to eating bowls of ice cream and watching sad movies on rainy days. People don’t know us as individuals, they know us as “Jill and Danielle,” which kind of stinks sometimes, but doesn’t bother us most of the time. Everyday we talk to each other or go to our sporting events together; people actually call me asking me if I know where she is sometimes because they always know were together. Our friendship is so powerful that I don’t see us ever not being friends in the future.
