Actually, when I was a child, I had several close friends. But right now I’d like to describe one of my closest friends during my school years. His name is Aniyam. We met when we were at school in our first classes during the meeting with our parents and then we figured out that we were neighbors and it was comfortable for us because we can can walk at school together and just educated together and it was convenient for us. We were totally different actually because I was an excellent student who loved to learn something new about the school subjects but she… it was not her cup of tea. She didn’t like to learn something, didn’t like school teachers at all. However, for us it was so funny because during our school years we have so many funny stories including me and her as the main characters and it was incredible time with her but after we were graduated we’ll keep in touch actually almost five years but after that we lose it because she married and have kids. I’m not just located in another city but however right now we just scrolling our social media and can see our news through these social interactions. And always when something happy happened in our lives we can congratulate each other through our Instagrams.

Actually, when I was a child, I had several close friends. But right now, I'd like to describe one of my closest friends during my school years. His name is Aniyam. We met when we were in our first classes during a meeting with our parents, and then we figured out that we were neighbors. It was comfortable for us because we could walk to school together and learn together, and it was convenient for us. We were totally different, actually, because I was an excellent student who loved to learn new things about school subjects, but she... it was not her cup of tea. She didn't like to learn, and she didn't like school teachers at all. However, for us, it was so funny because during our school years, we had so many funny stories, with me and her as the main characters. It was an incredible time with her, but after we graduated, we kept in touch for almost five years. After that, we lost touch because she got married and had kids, and I relocated to another city. However, right now, we just scroll through our social media and can see our news through these social interactions. Whenever something happy happens in our lives, we can congratulate each other through our Instagrams.
