Million reasons to quit, one reason to live

     There was a time when I have a lot of friends. I was a bit shy and reserved. I never really wanted to be popular, but I did want to have someone to share secrets and laughs with. All through junior high school, though, I just slipped in and out of "light" friendships where I didn't find a lot of comfort or companionship. When it came time to go to senior high school, I was quite nervous. I was going to be rooming with someone I didn't know and living in a town 300 miles away from home. There wouldn't be a single person I knew in town. I had no idea how I was going to make friends in this new environment.
     The first week of classes, something happened that changed my life forever. In our Oral Communication in Context class, I was asked (as were all the students) to share a little about myself. I told everyone where I called home and all of the other ordinary details that students share in such situations. The final question for each student was always the same, "What is your goal for this class?" Now, most of the students said it was to get a good grade, pass the class or something similar, but for some reason, I said something entirely different. I said that my goal was to make just one good friend. While most of the students sat in silence, one student came to me and held out her hand and introduced herself. She asked if I could be her friend. The whole room was silent – all eyes focused on us and the hand extended just in front of. I smiled and stretched my hand out to take her's and a friendship was formed. It was a friendship that lasted all through senior high school.
      It was back then when I was about to enter senior high school, I never thought of having a bestfriend. I never imagined that I could be with somebody I can laugh and cry with. I thought that my life as a senior will be the same as before, a loner but everything changed as I found myself wrong because I became bestfriends with the people that I never thought that I could be with. One of them is Angela. You will not like her at first but as the time goes by you'll get to know each other and inch by inch you'll get closer and closer that will form a bond between the both of you that no one could ever set you from her apart. Being her bestfriend is such a great opportunity because having her is also having a mother and a superhero at the same time. She cares like a mom and protects and keeps me away from danger like a real superhero does. She is always at my side whenever I have a problem or something that I cannot burst out to anyone except her. She makes me laugh whenever I'm sad and my crying shoulder everytime I'm in the deepest state of my life. I love her and I treasure her so much. She is a four-leaf clover and a pot of gold of mine at the end of a rainbow.
     Angela Reyes is a friend who you can count on and she'll be there. She might not be perfect in pleasing the world but she can please you that your wolrd can be perfect!
