I would like to talk about my best friend, Simon, who I’m delighted to know. Simon and I first met back in 2019 on a, uh, language exchange app called, uh, helloalk. Simon wanted to study Chinese, and I was looking forward to improve my English, so we decided to have a few video calls to practice. Over time, I realized Simon is one of the kindest person I have ever met, especially during Covid-19 outbreak. I find it challenging for me to get a new it job because most of the companies were closed or not hiring at that time. I sent out tons of series, but nobody, no companies gave me a response. I was very disappointed, but Simon encouraged me not to give up. Just keep. Just ke uh, just keep improving my skills. And he even helped m me to refine my resume. Eventually, I secured a job in Guangzhou, and I worked there over a year. I felt really happy and grateful to Simon because he is very considerate and I feel like I am very indebted to him.
