Well, I’m gonna talk about my best friend, Saif. I’ve known him since primary school and over the years we become really close. What makes him special is how mature and persuasive he is. He has a way with words. I remember in high school he would often skip homework. But somehow he’d always managed to talk the teachers into giving him more time. It was honestly impressive. What I enjoy most about him is his sense of humor. He always corrects jokes that make me laugh out loud. Even when I’m in a bad mood, he’s also very open-minded. I can’t say anything around him without worrying that he’ll take it the wrong way. When we hang out, we often reminisce about our childhood and all the silly things we used to do. I enjoy talking to him because it feels effortless. He listens and just signs and always finds a way to make the conversation fun. He’s definitely one of the most comfortable people I feel around.
