Well, now I would like to talk about a very close friend of mine named Mokhulisa. She was actually my classmate in secondary school and we have been friends for our seven years now. We first met on our very first day of school. I remember sitting at the same desk in our homeroom class. At first we were both a bit shy, but we soon realized that we shared many interests, especially in subjects like Mathematics and English. This common ground helped us build a strong bond from a young age. During our school years we did almost everything together. We used to prepare for exams together and help each other with difficult teamwork assignments. Besides from studying, we also participated in various school events. I clearly remember that we once organized a charity event for our school, which was a very rewarding experience for both of us. She is incredibly important for me for several reasons. Firstly, she is a loyal person, no matter what happens. I know I can always count on her for support. Secondly, she has a repulsive outlook on life and her energy always retweets me when I’m feeling down. Even though we have already graduated, we still keep in touch regularly in short. She isn’t just a former classmate, she is like a sister to me and I truly cherish our friendship.
