I've always considered myself to have strong opinions, thinking my ideas were good because I had an opinion on every subject. However, I later met someone who truly had stronger opinions than me. I wouldn't be truthful if I said I actually had stronger opinions. I want to talk about this person today. I had to change schools five years ago, which was a difficult experience. I met this person at my new school. His name is Sardar. I've never met anyone in my life who has such a strong opinion on every subject. It happened suddenly when the teacher asked a question about the topic in the lesson. Sardar and I both raised our hands. I was very confident because I had a lot of information on this subject, until I heard Sardar's answer. The question sparked a competition between us. After a discussion that lasted about 20 minutes, Sardar became upset when our teacher said, "I like both of your answers very much." He insisted to the teacher that his answer was the best and then turned to our classmates, asking, "Was my answer the best answer?" I said, "Yes, your answer was better." The discussion ended, but my thoughts about Sardar changed for the better. In fact, he's one of my closest friends now. However, he doesn't like it when his opinions are challenged. He always maintains that his own answers are better and stronger.
