Essay 2
The Gift Within

In my lifetime I have received many gifts. From my birthday to Christmas gifts they all are very special to me, but no gift is as special as the gift I found within myself.  The gift I found within is one that can not be bought but can be gave to all.  The gift I found within was LOVE.
It was an ordinary school day when I met this beautiful girl named Yolonda Harrington.  When I saw her I felt a cool rush all over my body that caused chill bumps all over me. I could smell her sweet candy scented perfume as she walked by.  Her hair was so long and shiny like it was silk.  I knew those feelings were funny but they felt good to me.  I just had the feeling that she was the girl for me.
Yolonda and I began to have conversation and  started to form a friendship.  Months later our friendship grew and I discovered that gift within myself. Of course the gift was my love for her. 
Love is a very strong word and should not be taken for granted. I knew that it was real and I could not control it.  I would sometimes find myself alone thinking about Yolonda and laughing at things she have said.
I finally found something within that no one can ever take from me and it feels good.  I just hope that my gift remains.
