| The Best Essay I Have Ever Written |
|
Name: Bethany Johnson College Attending: Libery University The Best Essay I Have Ever Written I wrote my best essay ever during my senior year of high school, shortly after my good friend, David, died. I was coming home from a youth retreat. The windows were down, hair blowing in my face, music pumping, friends laughing. Everything seemed alright in the world; we had had such an amazing trip! Then, suddenly, my world came crashing down. We returned home to find parents crowded around with tear-stricken faces, each searching for their children as we got out of the vans. I spotted my mom and sprinted over to her, wanting to know what had happened. She said, “Bethany, I’m so sorry. David died yesterday in a rock climbing accident.” I stood there for a moment, unable to move or breath. Shortly after, the tears began streaming down my own face. My mom wrapped her arms around me. Could this really be happening? Could he really be dead? My family first met David through our church. He was one of my older brother’s best friends. He always came over to our house. We grew up together; our families even celebrate Christmas Eve each year with one another. He was a like a brother to me, but now he was gone. The next few days passed by in what seemed like a blur. I absentmindedly performed my regular weekly tasks. I couldn’t grasp the fact that David wasn’t going to come over anymore. It felt so surreal. The following Tuesday, I went to youth group like normal. David was extremely talented and passionate about music. He could pick up almost any instrument and start playing it instantly. He had a beautiful voice. I had always looked up to him. He sang with me in the praise team at church for over six years. This night, however, when we started to sing, my heart ached with every note. I looked over to where David normally stood. I closed my eyes tight, hoping that when I opened them he would be there again, but he wasn’t. The funeral was a few days later. It was a lovely service during which David’s father shared that David’s favorite Bible verse was in the book of Psalms. It was his favorite just because it had the word “rock” in the verse which was demonstrated by his love for climbing. At least when he died, he was doing something he loved. Though David is gone, we will always remember him. How he could always make us laugh; he always reached out a helping hand; he was always there if we needed anything. Sometimes I miss him so much, but I am comforted knowing He is in a better place now, rocking away in Heaven. One day I will get to see him again and I can’t wait! Until then, I am going to live my life to the fullest just like David would have wanted. With each day, a new adventure awaits!
