David Christian Research Paper
Living with my Best Friend

David Christian (Frances) Lutchko blessed me with his presence 15 months after I was born. I can honestly say I don’t remember a moment in my life where he wasn’t next to me. Somehow, God knew Dave and I would be the perfect pair of siblings. We were giving the title, “Irish twins,” even though we weren't 12 months apart. This title became a lot funnier once we became teens because everyone dropped the “Irish” part and we were referred as twins. We might not be twins by age, but in regards to everything else about us, we’re close to it.

Growing up, I can say we were crazed kids. Somehow I have a feeling our behavior will haunt us with any future children we have. We knew exactly what buttons to push and the smallest of things to do to annoy each other. Only the Lord knows how our parents handled us together. The fights we have had back then are classic stories we laugh at now. All of my friends grew up viewing Dave as their younger brother as well. We all were stunned by how much time as passed not by when we graduated, but when it was David’s turn. He was always there to

He grew into my cheerleader, my supporter, my rock, my third parent, and my best friend. When we were younger, I remember him saying he was going to follow me wherever I went. He even meant it with transitioning with grades. Even though he is a whole year behind me, David was determined to be at the middle school exactly when I was to be there. The summer I left for college, it hurt leaving him in Scranton, while pursuing a degree in a town an hour and a half away. I didn't know how to feel without him being next to me. Dave and I grew up having our rooms ten feet away. I can say that a year later, after he picked a different university as mine, I was sad, disappointed, but tremendously proud my best friend wouldn’t be there with me. But it also meant that he didn’t fulfill that same promise he once was so persisted

    I am David Shane Dobyns, twenty-two years of age; I was born in Puyallup, Washington August 17th 1994 at Good Samaritan hospital. My family consists of my mother, father, and brother. Growing up was as idyllic as one would suspect. In my pre-pubescent years we moved several times bouncing from Oregon to Washington in search of “gods’ plan” for us, finally starting a church of our own in Lubbock, Texas. The church siphoned our time and money to the brink of poverty. Through the eyes of a jaded 5-year-old, everything was but a perfect utopia, neither a problem nor a care in the world. Mother was a stay at home at the wife, dictated by the church, whilst father worked odd jobs donating what blood and platelets he could muster that week to pay…

    Although this did happen, it was not in the way they expected. They believed that someone, the Messiah (“the Hebrew word ‘Messiah’ means an anointed person or thing” ), would come and be their king and take them away from Roman rule and, as a result, bring Israel together. One of the many verses that the Jewish were basing their expectations of the messiah on was, “your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before me; your throne shall be established for ever.” (2 Samuel 7:16). This can give the impression that a king would be sent from God who was like David: a king that would lead them, that they could follow, and enter the kingdom of God. They waited for the “Kingdom of God as employed by Jesus signified God’s victory over the…

    Brother I Never Had

    There was a point in time in which James lived with my mother and I. During this time James and I automatically became best friends. My mother worked a lot of hours during the week, so it was just James and I occupying the house. What made my uncle James so special is the big brother, little brother relationship we had. Growing up as an only child it was hard to express myself to my family; I could only do that with my friends. This is because my family is from Sierra Leone, and I was born in the United States. That culture clash made it difficult to be real with them. James; however was not born in the United States, but was young enough to attend an American high school. So he really adapted to the American culture, so we could relate. I would always ask James for advice, and usually get an effective response. In elementary school, I would always procrastinate when it comes to school assignments. Luckily I had James by my side to help me with my homework and other school work. I can recall countless times when James would take me out, just hang out. He was the coolest person in my own perspective. Sadly I knew eventually he was going to move out, and when he did I was devastated. I felt like a parent sending there kid off to college for the first time. Even when James left, we still kept in touch and hung out during holidays. James moved to Pittsburgh, and later got engaged.…

    My teenage life was the complete opposite of his. I had 3 sisters, but they are all relatively older than me. So, in a way I was like an only child because they were never around. I think that made my parents a little stricter. That meant I had my room to myself, and another spare room where I could keep more of my things in. My house wasn’t very big, but I was one the only child in it. And although I left for college,…
