Essay on duality

The Second Chair we are making is supposed to center around a friendship you have and we were asked to write a essay on duality.   

       

  I have known my best friend Matthew Mueller since we both started school as four year olds at Belinder elementary. Are parents houses have been two streets away from each other out whole lives. Our friendship started on the soccer field in kindergarten, and we continued to play soccer together until freshmen year of high school. Our friendship grew more as we had more classes together. First grade we were in the same class and that is when I would say we became best friends. Lots of time spent together at recess and playing outside of school took place as well. Things like soccer and recess always bring back good memories for the two of us. Matthew started off at KU last year as my roommate, and although he now lives back home 40 miles away, we still hang out on weekends. We have both played the same online game since middle school, and still see him on and talk just about every day. Matthew and I have a very similar sense of humor and are interested in a lot of the same things. Too many things can bring us back to a story we have had together its hard to choose one. For example, recess makes us think of running around in a line with as many people who would join us pretending to be the harry potter cast. We would zoom around groups of people trying to play basketball on our nonexistent brooms. Sophomore year we both started working at Einstein Brothers bagels, which has made many memories. Although I work at the Einstein in Lawrence now, I can still transfer to my old store to work with Matthew when classes are over. I feel both Matthew and I would be very different people if we had never met and grown up together. I hope as life goes on he remains my best friend and we stay in touch. It is weird to see how my parents don’t keep in contact with anyone from their younger life. I do not see that happening with Matthew though.  The longer you have known someone, and the closer you become, the more fun it is to be around him or her. Nothing has to be said and you both know what you could be doing to keep from being board.
