My best friends

Friendships are one of the most important things you can get out of life. If their were no friendships in this world, every one would go insane.So, this blog will be about how I met my three best friends and would be lost without them. First, I will talk about my two best friends who I have not known my entire life, then I will talk about my third best friend who I have known my entire life.
I met my first best friend, Andrea, in the seventh grade when we both lived in Enterprise, Alabama. We had the same Physical Education class and would steal each others shoes and run around the gym. But we did not become best friends right away. After seventh grade, we separated to different schools; she went to Old Junior and I went to Dauphin. We both still lived in Enterprise, Alabama though. It was not until ninth grade when we met again. Both our fathers had gotten orders to move to Fort Riley, Kansas. Andrea had walked into my Freshman Communications class and I recognized her instantly. She did not recognize me until I said the school we both went to and Alabama. We were best friends right then and there. We did everything together and acted like sisters. She knows everything about me, my fears, secrets, desires, etc. Even though I now live in Virginia and she lives in Texas, we are still super close and talk every single day. I would not be who I am today if it was not for her.
Next, is my second best friend Jessica. I met her my freshman year of high school in Kansas. She was on the same Volleyball team as me. She became more close to me when she played Softball with Andrea and I. Jessica and I interned at Sunset Zoo together in Kansas, we would go out to lunch together and drive together to Softball practice afterwords. She knows a lot about me as well, we went to every school game together and went to every party together.
Lastly, is my best friend who I have known my entire life. She knows more about me than any one of my other friends. She is the one I go to for everything; she is my mother. I am proud to say that I am close to my mom, closer than some girls are with their mothers. I have to talk to my mom every night and can not stay mad at her for more than an hour. She is my main best friend. I would be completely lost without her, I would not be who I am today if it was not for her. My mom and I are like a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich; some people could do with just the Peanut Butter or just the Jelly, but not me, I need my mom.

Have you ever thought how it would be to be a famous person? I think it would be amazing  to be famous for one week and get to see what famous people do for a living. Do they stay at recording studios or filming studios all day? Do they like having paparazzi follow them around all the time? I wish I could hangout with a famous person for one week, or even one day to see how they live their lives.

Military Brats- Tougher Than Normal Children?

       Now I already know what most of you are thinking, "Why are they called Military Brats?". Well it is because one or two of our parents are currently in the military full time. I do not know why they say "Brat" instead of "Child", maybe because we are special and deserve that name for all the stuff we go through? Maybe we have earned the title of "Brats" because we are tougher than a kid who does not have to move every couple of years, or see their parent leave for a war zone and pray to God they come back in one piece. Now someone who reads this that does not have a parent in the military would disagree and say that they have to watch their parents leave for business trips; but that does not involve your parents getting shot at. I wish my dad would just go on business trips, then I would be able to talk to him every night. Unlike when he deploys I get to talk to him every once in awhile. 
        I am not saying all kids are weak compared to Military Brats either. I just think we go through a lot in our lives more than a typical kid. Lets go back to the whole "moving" fact. Military Brats move every couple of years whether they want to or not. We have to say bye to loved ones, or friends and pray that we will find new ones who are the same as the old. I have friends all over the world, and family all over the country. Now some people may like the fact of moving because of "new starts", but "new starts", starts to get really old really quick. I have moved to 4 states in the past 8 years, and i became a military brat when I was 10 years old. I had lived in one state for 10 years before my mom and step dad got married in 2006. Imagine how many states I would have had to move to adding on the extra 10 years! 
       We go through a lot more than a typical child! We have a lot on our plate, we can not do certain things either. Everything a Military Brat does, effects their parents job. If I were to get pulled over for a ticket, my dad would get in trouble by his boss; FOR MY ACTIONS! Military Brats have to watch their backs as well now. Times are getting hard for people in the military and their families. We have been so called "trained" to be tough, to learn how to deal with things. We have to learn how to deal with heartbreak, and how to get over something real quick. Normal kids do not have to deal with any of that as much as we do. That is why I say Military Brats are a lot tougher than normal kids.
