Never Judge!

In life I have learned that you should never judge a book by its cover. For instance, the first time I met my best friend, Melissa. It was the middle of my tenth grade year when Melissa came to my school, Oxnard high school. It was during break when I notice this new girl with purple braids walking around school. I thought to myself “Ooo that color looks good on her.” I never talk to her until the end of the school day when she got on my bus. Since I got on the bus first, I was able to save a seat for my sister and my friend, Sam. When Melissa got on the bus almost all the seats were taken except the one next to Sam. When Melissa saw Sam she sat down and start going off on him. The both of them were talking about another student, Bree. As the bus start moving, Sam and Melissa finally stop yelling at each other and turn around to talk to us. Something about Melissa just tried to rub me the wrong way. As the school days pass Melissa and I would talk more at lunch and during all the breaks. She started coming to my house every day after school. Ten years later we are still friends. . I am now a godmother to her daughter, Ella.  Melissa is more than a friend to me, she is my sister. She has taught me that you can never look at somebody in judge them. She has also taught me that anybody can change if they want to.  This will be one person that would alas be in my life. Our children are best friends and I hope they grow up together with the same relationship that we have because it’s hard to find and keep true friends.
