I had a friend from my high school that definitely helped me become a better person. We got closer over the summer after we graduated. I will never forget him because he was able to stay such a positive person in a negative environment. Where we grew up wasn’t terrible but also wasn’t too great either. We had to deal with a lot of temptations and some danger too. I admired him because he was able to completely ignore all that stuff. Yet he still was popular in school and played basketball. He was active in his church and I never heard him use bad language. Just a really good person. Sadly he passed away when I was 19. I kept his number on my cell phone for years. That dude made an impact at such a young age. I will always miss & respect him. So rest in peace my friend Kendrick.
