Meet my bestfriend

Me and my bestfriend Amy have been friends for about two years. I didn’t know that I could meet anyone so similar but so different from me. Her and I are so similar within our personalities and our styles. But, our up bringing was very different. She was born in Reno, Nevada. She has a relatively small family. She has two older sisters and one older brother, she is the youngest out of 4. Her up bringing was very rough, she didn’t have a father figure in the picture. So, it was rough with just having her mother for an up bringing. Amy has 2 nephews and 1 new born niece. She traveled a lot as a young kid and was always out of Reno. She also loved riding horses when she was little. She lived on a farm in Reno that had around 2 horses that she always loved playing with. Also, she liked riding bicycles and swimming. She competed in young swim competitions. Her favorite stroke was backstroke. As a child Amy was very extrovert, energetic, and as her mother, Laura, recalls, “always full of joy with an ecstatic and bubbly personality.”

On the other hand I first lived in Las Vegas before moving here to Reno. I have a really big family and I am very family oriented, which is different from Amy. I have two older brothers and I am the youngest of my family which is a similarity Amy and I have. I thankfully have both of my parents in my life which is another difference from lives. I have one younger niece who is 2 years and her and Amys nephews play together all the time. My parents loved to travel the world when my brothers and I were younger so i have a very well rounded upbringing. When I was younger I was super athletic, I was a dancer, a cheerleader, and a swimmer. If there were three words to describe me that my parents would use they would be ” Energetic, Outgoing, and Kind.” Amy and I are as I said in my introduction, very similar but also very different. Our upbringings had there differences but at the same time they were similar. I never in a million years would’ve thought that I could find such an amazing person like Amy. She is my person who is always there for me and gets me like no one has ever understood me before. I call her my sister rather than a friend. We are from two different blood lines but act like we are from the same. Don’t know what I would do without her.
