I would like to talk about a girl named Alina who was one of my closest childhood friends. I met her in kindergarten when we were in the same groups. Since we enjoyed playing together, we immediately became best friends because we spent a lot of time together. We got to know each other very well. In kindergarten we used to play various games. For example, we played with toys, built things with blocks, drew pictures and even took part in competitions organized by our teachers. Sometimes we also played at a playground area outside kindergarten. There we used to play hide and seek or tag. We also built San Kiasl’s in the sandbox and it was really enjoyable experience. What I like most about her is her personality. She was very kind, helpful person who was always willing to share her toys with others. In addition to this, she had a strong sense of humor and could easily make everyone laugh. Overall, I really enjoyed being around her and we rarely argue to each other. However, after finishing kindergarten, we went to different schools and gradually lost touch. Even though we are not in contact, I still remember her fondly because she is an important part of my childhood and she has left many childhood memories. All in all we had an amazing time together and created wonderful memories to share with others.
