To be honest, there are a lot of friends who are playing crucial parts in my life, but I want to choose my friend Diana, whom I like friends like five years. We met at a Taekwondo class when I was only 11, and to be honest, in that moment we weren’t be friends like now. We just knew each other and that’s all. Then we both enrolled to the same school and it was such a coincidence and I was really amazed that we both enrolled to the same class. Then we started to communicate because we knew each other already, so we communicated a lot and then started to be friends. I think when I have some problems with my studies or with my relationship, she always supports me with no negative. She doesn’t say that I’m wrong. She always supports and always says something that motivates you. In some cases, when I have some problems with my studies, for example with my math, she said to me, don’t worry, you will do it. You just need to be more focused on your studies and that’s all. This kind of words really motivated me and when I have some problems, I just call her and after our communication, I just feel myself feel relief and very glad to be a friend with her.

To be honest, there are a lot of friends who play crucial parts in my life, but I want to choose my friend Diana, whom I have known for about five years. We met at a Taekwondo class when I was only 11, and at that moment, we weren't friends like we are now. We just knew each other, and that was all. Then we both enrolled in the same school, and it was such a coincidence. I was really amazed that we both ended up in the same class. We started to communicate because we already knew each other, so we talked a lot and then became friends. I think when I have problems with my studies or my relationships, she always supports me positively. She doesn't say that I'm wrong; she always encourages me and says something that motivates me. For example, when I have issues with my studies, especially with math, she tells me not to worry and that I will do it. I just need to focus more on my studies, and that's all. Her words really motivate me, and when I have problems, I just call her. After our conversations, I feel relief and am very glad to have her as a friend.
