Celebrating Black History Month by Celebrating Those in Our Lives: My best Friend, Iris, by Abigail Neri-Alvarez ’26

by Abigail Neri-Alvarez ’26

The person I chose is my best friend Iris. She is funny,sweet(in her own way), loud, confident, and just an amazing person overall. Her favorite hobbies are reading and writing books. She also likes to play volleyball and her favorite color is Pink. Her favorite show is Vampire Diaries and some of her favorite artists are Melanie Martinez, Billie Eilish, and Bruno Mars.


The reason I chose Iris is because we have been friends ever since 2nd grade. I have known Iris almost my whole life. She knows how to cheer me up and never fails to put a smile on my face. She always had my back no matter what. She would always listen to me talk nonsense and with her and I always feel like I  can be myself without being judged. In school, we would talk and laugh nonstop to the point where teachers would separate us but we would still laugh from across the room. She is my favorite person and I never want to lose her. 🩷
