On the 3rd of December, 2005, I lost one of my best friends when he shot himself to death. Robert Burchfield was like my older brother. He often called me the younger sister GOD didn't give him. He was also my guardian and friend. Once, he heard I was being bullied in school and he taught me how to flip people over my shoulder. He would let me practice on him. When I went to his viewing service, I saw a body in a box that was trying to convince me that it was Burchfield (just Burch to me.) Even though I know it was his body, I couldn't bring myself to believe it. That body didn't have a smile on its face nor did it have laughter in its chest. He wanted to become a soldier in the United States Marines Corps. He would defend any woman because that is what he believed in. He also believed that women were just as strong as men. He wouldn't let me settle or quit just because I am a girl. Burch was, and will always be, my guardian, friend, and brother. The Earth lost a major part of its heart when Robert Burchfield departed from it. Watch over me, Burch, you may not be here, but we all still need you; I still need you. And, so, Rest In Peace, my brave guardian, my dear friend, my beloved brother; Robert Wayne Burchfield 01/06/1989-12/03/2005. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Hello, my name is Holly, and welcome to my author's page. I'm nineteen years old, and I live in Texas. When I was in high school, I was in the NJROTC program where I held billiots such as Battalion Suppy officer, Orienteering Team Commander, and Battalion Commander. For fun, I like to read/write, hike, shoot basketballs, watch TV, hang with friends, learn/work on first aid, and PAINTBALL!!
I am a lifeguard at a waterpark here in Houston called Spalshtown. I have jumped for, and saved, 41 people in my first season alone, and I love doing what I do! The people I work with are the amazing kinds of people that you pray you'll meet in your life! They are the best friends, family, and people to ever grace the earth. I love 'em all! :-)
I plan on becoming a volenteer firefighter or an EMT; more likely, I'll become an EMT!
I think people should face their fears and go for whatever they believe in. I also believe that fear is a good thing; it keeps humans alive. Once you set your mind for something, NEVER be afraid to go for it! I also believe that taking risks is one of the most healthy things a person can do for themselves. You get to grow, learn, and move on; and, in doing so, you show yourself what you are capable of.
I have a boyfriend. He is the muse for a lot of my work. I love him. We started going out on November 8th. I hope that any girl who is afraid to date, but takes the chance anyways, gets a boyfriend like mine. He is awesome, and I love him very much. (If you read any of my works under the 'love' catorgory, then look out for the name Zac, because that's my boyfriend's name! ) He broke up with me on the 28th of June. But, watch this, he'll want me back before school starts....Well, as of October 21st, Zac and I are going out again. Maybe this time, we will do a bit better! Well, as of May the 12th, Zac and I relize that we are better friends than anything else. Yeah, we broke up. We are still good friends, though!.....Time to throw another guy into the mix! My orginal D.I., Nathan Cloonan, and I are on the verge of starting a relationship. The only problem for the time being is that he's in San Diego, and I'm not. But, we'll see where that leads!...OK! Offically, on March 22nd, 2008, Nathan and I are dating! I'm dating my best friend; what could be better than that?
I'm now CPR certified for adults, children, and infants! Yay for being a lifeguard!
I feel very blessed to know the amazing people that I know; here at Allpoetry, though NJROTC, school, and Splashtown. Through the hard times, and the good, all the people in my life have been there for me! I wish there was a way I could thank every single one of them!

The following are some freakin' awesome quotes that I really like:

Ships in harbor are safe, but that's not what ships are built for.
I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not.
I'm not different, you're just not like me.
You look at things that are and ask, "Why?" But, I dream of things that never were and ask, "Why not?"
Don't stand behind me, I may not lead. Don't stand in front of me, I may not follow. Just stand next to me and be my friend.
Stand for something, or you will fall for anything.
The man who never stubs his toe is probably standing still.
It's hard and pointless to be like everyone else; so, make your life easier and just be yourself.
Military ranks don't come in pink for girls and blue for boys; they earn the SAME rank. And, should, hince, be treated the same way.
"Pressure makes Diamonds"-from my good friend, Jordan Wright
Love is giving that one person all the information they need to destroy you...and then trusting them not to.
