I'd like to tell you about the time I met my best friend, Ibu. We met during my bachelor's degree, specifically in my fourth semester. We were both taking the same statistics course and were assigned to work on a presentation together. That's when we really clicked. We ended up staying in the same group for the rest of our bachelor's degree, which was a great experience as we could support each other through the challenges. We initially met online, as the course was taught virtually. Later, we decided to meet in person at a restaurant for a hangout. When I first met Ibu, I was struck by his energy and enthusiasm. He was always asking questions and actively participating in class discussions, especially during presentations. This was something I really admired, and it turned out to be true in person as well. We hit it off immediately and have been close friends ever since. I think Ibu is a great friend because he's incredibly motivating and resilient. We both decided to work and study at the same time, so we shared a similar drive and determination. It was important for me to have someone who understood my goals and could help me stay motivated during those challenging times. We were both committed to achieving our goals, and that shared ambition really strengthened our bond. I'm so grateful to have Ibu as a friend.
