Sure, I keep a small but close-knit circle of friends. They’re called Fiona, Jordan, Dan and Alex. I prefer quality over quantity when it comes to relationships with people and those four exemplify just that. Over the years I’ve been able to go to each one of them to use their strengths to help me in moments of weakness and vice versa is just as true for them. Fiona has been instrumental in helping me understand myself. Jordan’s ability to brainstorm with me was key to my success in exams. Dan’s financial advice led me to achieve my dream of leaving the UK and Alex made every holiday we took as a group of friends so memorable. I would say all relationships I’ve had in my life have been important but my current stage in life right now, those four come to mind. They are the co-authors of my story.

Fiona has been instrumental in helping me understand myself. Jordan's ability to brainstorm with me was key to my success in exams. Dan's financial advice led me to achieve my dream of leaving the UK, and Alex made every holiday we took as a group of friends so memorable. I would say all the relationships I've had in my life have been important, but at this current stage, those four come to mind. They are the co-authors of my story.
