Well, I have met a lot of people in my life. But today I would like to share one of my experiences. I met one person and we became good friends, and we are still in contact with each other. He is none other than my best friend Anish. We first met, I guess, 20 years ago when I was taking my skating classes. At that time, we met together. Every summer, I joined these skating classes near my home, and there was a new student who came in. He was not that good at skating, so the coach told me to help him. That's how we got in contact. After we spent some good time together, we started to understand each other and became good friends. At first, I didn't know anything about him. But as we spent time together, I was able to understand where he came from and what he was studying. He was living near my home, and I also learned that he was studying in an international school. He came from another town, and because of his parents' transfer, he had to come here. He felt lonely at first, but as we became friends, he felt less solitude.
