Friendships

        Friendships have contributed greatly to many of my accomplishments in my life this far and will continue to in the future.  They have helped me in many areas of my life.  They have helped me with my athletics and schooling.  Friendships helped to motivate me to practice and push on and were there to cheer me on at many of my games.  If it wasn’t for my friends I wouldn’t have been the successful athlete that I was in high school or in college.  Two friends in particular helped me to become a better baseball player.  They were always wanting to play baseball and would push me to practice/play with them.  This helped me tremendously and is partially why I am playing baseball in college now.  They also helped me in my schooling.  They would help me with my papers and spell check my papers.  One friend of mine, Abby definitely helped me to be a better writer.  I would often have trouble with wording sentences how I wanted them and she was always willing to help me word it right.  She was also always willing to help me in other classes when things didn’t make sense to me.  If it wasn’t for here I probably wouldn’t be the student I am now.  I am sure later in life after college friends will continue to help me accomplish new things whether it’s helping me get a job interview or whatever it may be.

            Batman’s friendships have be a huge compliment to his success and vice versa for his friends.  He helped Robin learn to become a better man and stay out of “trouble”.  Batman also helps Gordon clean up the streets and also clean out the corrupt cops and higher ups in Gotham.  The friendships Batman has is crucial to his crime fighting. Some of Batman’s friends are “utility” friends and some are friends for pleasure.  I’d say he enjoys Robin’s friendship and just likes having him around.  I could see Gordon and Harvey Dent for more of a utility friend just because of Batman and their work in fighting crime.
