Me and Michael went to high school together and I remember him always being so funny and outgoing. He was one of the greatest friends I had who truly brought smile to our faces. My favorite class with him was chemistry, he always brought snacks for us and was kind.

I remember the day we became friends in 10th grade. You were the first friend I made at Doss and I´m so glad I had the opportunity to get to know you. Back in Mr. combs class when we used to laugh and make jokes. Or when I finally started working at class act and you would come in and just talk with us. I haven´t even started on upward bound yet, I´m so glad I made that call and helped you get in with me, too bad we´re never gonna get to live that college life we talked about. You´re my brother forever man. Hold the gate for me when I´m on my way.
