What a friend can do
I have a a friend that I have known since 3rd grade but we really became friends in 4th grade. We were usually doing things with other friends but one day it was just us and we had a good imagination and we were pretending that we were Roman, Greek, or Egyptian soldiers. We wanted to know more about them so we started taking out books on ancient history.We even got a computer game where we commanded ancient armies and led campaigns around ancient Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia. This was our thing for a while and it was a fun thing for us to do. I don’t really remember how but my friend started showing me some things on the civil war like books and other things. There was also a strategy game for the Civil war but it was only focusing on one battle which was Gettysburg. This is really when I started getting into the civil war and the history about it and I learned a lot and I continued to learn about it through 5th grade. When I came into middle school I didn’t really do much with it and kinda got out it but the same friend got me back into it because him and his dad joined a reenactment group and I really enjoy learning about this subject. He has effected my life greatly becase if I never played with him that day I would have never started liking history or started learning about it. He has really effected my life and hopefully I will continue to be friends with him for the rest of my life.
