Friendship

Friendship is a really special gift for everyone. I thought I was a difficult thing to have a real friendship in my life, but then at this moment I have really a great friendship with 2 of my best friends in the US.
I am a person that really hard to make friends or get along with people. Therefore, having good friends or close friends with me rarely happens, when I was in the secondary school, I was lucky to make friends with two classmates, and we are still friends until now. We made friends because we had the same favorite singer in Taiwan. All of us are so interested in him. He had a really sweet voice and he had a lot of albums and nice dramas. We were always talking about him all the time. Day by day, we just got closer and closer. I was really happy when I spent my secondary and high school with them. We studied and played together. We shared everything with each other whenever we had happy or sad things in our student lives. Sometimes, about studying, sometime about of a cute boy that we like or we are interested in schools. Having friends listening to your feeling and give you some advices when you do not know what you should do is really meaningful. I really miss them; they are always by my side, encourage me and help me when i had difficult problems. I thought we would spend the whole high school time together, but my family moved to the big city because of my dad's job. I was really sad when I had to say goodbye to them. We could not often talk and play with each other anymore, I would miss them so much. We were crying a lot at the day I left. My friends gave me a hug and I did not know why the tears were just unconsciously shedding off my cheers. Setting in a car, I had to accept the truth that I left my country side already where I grew up and had a lot of memories with my friends and neighbors. I saw the CD gifts that two of my dear friends made for me, and I could not stop crying. They recorded all of the places we used to hangout, go eating and shopping. They took pictures of our favorites food stores, ice-cream places, and so on...It really touched my heart, I talk with me all the videos that I had to be happy and successful when I went to study in a new place. They hope I could make a lot of friends, be able adjust the new environment and be strong in any difficult situations. They would always support me and give me best wishes in my future life. I also told to myself like that, however I was also afraid that I would not meet anyone like them.
When I moved to new school, which was The International High School in the big city, everything was so new. I saw new friends, new teachers, and a lot of new things. It was really hard time for me to get along with new friends. Compare with friends in the countryside where I lived, they were more active and open. I was just so silent and did not know what should I talk or make a conversation with them. The only way I could communicate with them was the time I showed or helped them to resolve Math or Chemistry homework problems. I knew a little bit more than them because I used to study those science lessons before because both of schools were different educational systems. That was the way I made friends. Later, when I studied with them, I just could make some friends, and I just had only one good friend. He talked, shared and helped me a lot. Because of him I could have some happy memories when I was in my new school. However, we could not study abroad together because of his personal family problem. Then, I went to the US all along to study. Being a college student, I have a lot of things to do, especially with homework and assignments. I do not have many times to hang out with friends. However, I am really happy and lucky now because I found out that 2 of my friends in my school when I moved to the big city are really nice hand friendly. They are not only my friends, but also my family over here. Whenever I had difficult problems, they are always welcome to help and share with me. When I was in the sickness, they were really worried. They drove all the way from Los Angeles to come to my house and took me to see doctor. Having them beside me I feel really safe and joyful. We are all international students, having a chance to meet each other again in the huge country like America is really special. I have so much fun and happy memories with them now. I hope our friendship will keep going on forever.
That is a surprising thing that I have experienced about friendship. Everyone will have their own special friendship. You do not have to worry and look for it. It will come to you naturally without noticing. And it will be really invaluable gift for you.
