The Sauce of My Lasagna
From first grade, Jemianne has always been there for me. We first met in Mrs. Hall�s first grade class and we became friends instantly. Jemianne was also my neighbor so that was awesome for the both of us. We came a long way, spending more than half of our lives as friends. Jemianne and I grew up together and as corny as it sounds, we will always be friends.
How we became friends was quite strange. In first grade, I approached Jemianne and asked, �Are you Filipino?� and then I said, �Lets be friends.� I know its crazy how we�re such close friends from that but I�m glad it happened. During elementary school, we would always be or try to be partners. We were partners in those multicultural dances and were partners for and projects we had.
As we grew up more, we had many things in common. We both became very interested in music and performing. We also both joined Peace Patrol. In the fifth and sixth grade, Jemianne and I were in the Drama club, Peace Patrol, and Goin� Gold. In middle school we joined orchestra together. Now being a little bit older, we still were the same as before, good friends.
Now moving on to High School, Jemianne and I were very excited. That summer break prior to High School was so fun. I would go over to Jem�s house and we would do anything and it would be considered a good time. Jem and I could talk about anything and feel comfortable with each other. We were still very close friends and we were just as good friends as we were in first grade.
During freshman year, I went over to Jem�s house the day before her fifteenth birthday party. I helped her put up streamers and make her cake. Jem�s brother made lasagna and there was left over noodles. Jem and I made a creation with the leftover noodles and called it �Lasagna Sandwich.� While eating them, Jem turned to me and said, �Ernani, you�re the only person I can do crazy stuff like this and feel comfortable with.�

Reflection
This biographical was one of the first essays written this year. My essay was about one of my best friends Jemianne Bautista. I enjoyed this essay because it reminded me about how important friends are and what a good friend she is to me. It also reflected on how long we have been friends and how she was always there for me. This essay was not one of the best essays I have written and it could have been a lot better. I think this essay was not as good because I did not really know what to write about for this essay so i just came up with this Topic. From this paper, I learned that I need to write about something more interesting and keep my essays more organized. It also showed me that I need to write something with more significance to it.
