Male Female

A time that I was surprised was during my graduation from Thammasat University. I saw someone I had not met for a long time, and I was impressed because it was my best friend, whom I hadn't seen in years. Her name is [Friend's Name], and she has been my best friend since childhood. We studied together in kindergarten, and we spent a lot of time together in the past. After we separated from school and university, we didn't meet for a long time. So when I graduated, she came, and I felt, oh my gosh, my friend misses me. I was very surprised because she is now an adult and prettier than I remembered from the first day we met. On the day of my graduation, she talked with me a lot about our childhood memories when we were young, and I realized how much I missed her. It was a wonderful surprise to reconnect and reminisce about the good times we shared.
