Our Friendship

Hello, it’s Andy and Nishat, and most of you know we are best friends along with Kaitlyn. We three have been friends for 5 years now and although we two are in the same school and Kaitlyn is away, we have remained best friends regardless. After years of parting ways, we know the importance of having a best friend. Even though we are far away from each other, somehow we know each other more than one knows themselves.

From my view, we started to bond in 8th grade when we had several classes together, and thanks to our advisory teacher who sat us together, we started to incorporate Nishat into the friendship that Kaitlyn and I already had. These girls have helped me cope with so much that there's simply no words to describe how much I appreciate them both and how much I love them.

From my view, we started talking during Advisory. It was Kaitlyn, Andy, another friend, and I, in one table for advisory. We were considered the “smart and quiet kids” but as soon as we were seated together, it was a blast. It was like our advisory teacher knew we would click. As time went by, we got closer to each other. Our favorite class was science, where Trio K.A.N was formed (our group name, cringe I know). We started to help each other on our darkest moments to laughing together at the most dumb and memorable times.

I've known Andy since 4th grade and I met Nishat in advisory where I creeped her out. The moment I knew Trio KAN was a thing was when these two had made up a rap song together during English and Math class because they were bored (super cringe). Trio KAN formed quickly and suddenly. Although I don’t go to the same school, I would be a whole different person without these two.

We believe that our friendship is a great example of a strong and healthy bond that has and continues to build daily. When reaching high school, many people struggle with finding new friends, however our friendship is a perfect example of how you can keep a healthy and happy friendship through high school.

(sorry if we broke your screen, we were in 8th grade and didn't know better)
