We're all friends

  Mayfair has been like a second home to many students. I spend more time at the "fair" then I do my own home. Being able to come to a school and be accepted amongst your peers is a great feeling. Majority of the student body gets along much like a family. Being at a school campus for over 5 years builds strong friendships. Mayfair has allowed me to meet many different smiling faces.

   I met my best friends in middle school. In 7th grade I played on the same Pop Warner football team as Adam Johnston. Although Adam is now a superstar linebacker here, he sure wasn't when we played together. One thing about him is he would give you the shirt off his back if needed.

  Walking into Mr. Fongs history class, in 7th grade I met this chubby kid eating a snicker. Not having anything to eat for snack I approached the kid asking for a piece. The chubby kid broke me off a piece and he shook his head of frustration. He later told me his name was Ricky Parra and one day he'll be the president of the U.S. I never hung out with Ricky until we reached freshman year. 

  Walking the halls of Mayfair's campus daily I started to get more comfortable  with the people around me. I noticed during passing period this dark alien shape headed boy always gave me a weird stare. I looked the boy up-and-down every day as a way of letting him know I was superior. The frightened little boy approached me, he apologize for the weird stare downs. We conversated for a short period of time. He told me his name was Faizon Creighton. I thought his name was very unique although his strange personality kept me away from him until freshman football.

    Over the past couple years I came to the realization that Mayfair has given me the best three brothers I never had. Despite Adam's goblin like facial features, Ricky's eating habits, and Faizons deformed egg head they've been the people I could trust with my life and could come to them for any hardships.

   I just wanted to take the time to say thank you Mayfair for giving me friendships that will last a lifetime . #Classof2015 #Gosoons
