I would like to talk about my best friend Ines who had played a really important role in my life. We met on the first day at university when we were both of us living in the university dorm. At the beginning we were just roommates but quickly the relationship between us became much deeper. She starts to feel like a sister to me. Ines is a very nice and kind and gentle person. She is also religious and intelligent, which has a positive influence on me. I remember when I got sick in the dorm. She kicked for me. She made sure that I’m comfortable. She made hot drinks for me. Those small actions meant a lot to me. What is very special about her is her emotional support. She was there for me in one of the, in some of my hardest periods of my life. She also helped me to maintain a good relationship with God as I told you. She was religious and also smart and intelligent, which helped me through my studies to become more successful. I’m so thankful for her and still, this day, she remains one of the most important people in my life.
