So I like to talk about the person that I really disliked at first but ended up being friends with. She's now one of my close friends; her name is Tnara, and we met during our internship at summer school in Azerbaijan. If I remember correctly, it was two or three years ago. When we first met, she was somewhat annoying to me; I couldn't stand anything about her, the way she talked, her ideas, or just the way she thought about me. I really couldn't stand it. We had a mini bus that took us from our work to our meeting point at Gansling Metro Station, and along the way, she would always throw some words at me, expecting me to respond, but I just ignored her all the time. One time, if I remember correctly, we talked about some kind of astronomy, astrology to be exact, and she said something that upset me, so I replied with some harsh words. My words really upset her, and she started to cry. From that point, I tried my best to apologize. I went to her and said that I was so sorry for the things I said and that I took back all my words. After that, we became really close friends. It was an unusual experience for me because I usually ignore people who have a harsh situation with me, but she was an exception. I'm really glad that I strengthened my connection with her.
