Okay, so the illness I'm going to talk about happened to my best friend, Anu. She's really not sensitive to any illnesses, and it was really surprising when I heard that she got a strong fever. I first noticed it when she didn't come to school, and I asked her why. Then she said she was coughing a lot and that her temperature was way higher than average. I was really worried about her, so because we live close, I wanted to take care of her. Also, her parents needed to go to work, so I was really concerned about her being alone when she was so sick. I made a food that I heard about that I thought was healthy for a fever. My grandma told me about it, so I cooked it myself. It was a soup with great flavors, and I was really happy about it. I thought it could alleviate the pain she was having. I went to her house, gave her the soup, and just talked to her, trying to lift her spirits because she was feeling down. It was really devastating to see her in that state because, as I've said before, she doesn't really get sick that much. Now, seeing her in pain is just really strange to think about because she doesn't get sick anymore. I think it helped our connection grow more, and we bonded over that. I feel really happy about it, even though it was really bad.

Okay, so the illness I’m going to talk about happened to my best friend, Anu. So she’s really not sensitive to any illnesses and it was really surprising when I heard that she got a strong fever. I first noticed it when she didn’t come to school and I asked her why and then she said she was coughing a lot and that her temperature was way higher than average. And I was really worried about her so because we live close I wanted to take care of her. And also her parents need to go to their work so I was really worried about her being alone when she was so sick. So I made a food that I heard about that I suppose was healthy for a fever. My grandma told me about it so I cooked it myself. It was a soup with great flavors and I was really happy about it. And then I thought it could alleviate the pain that she was having. And I went to her house, I gave her the soup and I just kind of talked to her, kind of hyped her up because she was feeling down. And it was really kind of devastating to see her in a state like that because you know as I’ve said before she doesn’t really get sick that much. And now seeing the pain it’s just really weird to think because she now does not really get sick anymore. And I just think that it kind of helped our connection grow more and I think we bonded over that. So I feel really happy about it even though it was really bad.
