Male Female

Well, I've always been lucky enough to be surrounded by very friendly and supportive people. Now I'd like to talk about one of them. Her name is Muica, and she's my friend. I clearly remember when I first saw her, I was a freshman at the university. Honestly, at first, I didn't like her at all. But as time passed, we became inseparable friends. When it comes to her personality, she's very supportive and intelligent. She also has excellent problem-solving skills. So every time I face difficulties in my life, I always turn to her. She supports me and gives rational advice in these situations. What's more, we have a lot in common, as we're both really into books. We always enjoy reading books together, and after finishing one, we always discuss it and share our perspectives. When it comes to my feelings, I would say I'm incredibly happy to have her in my life, and I'm proud to be her friend. I wish I had more friends like her in my life.
