Whenever I think of my childhood friends, I recall many of them who had been very close to me. One such friend whom I would like to talk about is Sarah. She was a very good friend of mine. I met Sarah when I was 7 or 8 years old. She was a kid from our neighbors and I met her for the first time in our community park opposite to my house. Her family lived next to our house. I was with my mother and suddenly then Sarah appeared and asked me if I lived there while pointing at my house. This is how we met. We spent almost 10 years together. We did a lot of things together. At that time we were neighbors, classmates and best friends. We used to go to school, play at our home, read and sometimes went to picnic together. We had so many things in common. We both liked playing video games, reading stories, watching cartoon movies and running in the field. At that moment, that friendship was very important to me. We were like sisters and best friends. We had so many common interests and we enjoyed playing, studying and doing things. Many parents, my parents and Sarah’s parents were like family friends. That’s why we got chance to spend time together.
