No Man is an Island

First, let’s give friends a meaning. For me, friends are your companion in every single time or more. Friends are those who help and give opinions to what you are doing. True friends are those who remember you in happy and sad times.

We can find friends everywhere, most specially, in school. We can find different kinds of friends.  In these places, we build our different relationship from other people, too.

I believe in the saying that “No man is an island”. It means that each of us needs friends to survive.  We need someone to lean to when we’re in sorrow and hardness. We need them to complete our missions in life.

What must we do to have friends? Simple, we must be friendly! But being friendly does not exist; we also need to do good things. However, the friends that we thought our friends might be good or bad, so we must be careful.

I have many friends. During my elementary years, they used to be my second family. We are so close that all of us cried in our graduation. I had mentioned them in my speech also. They mean a lot to me. When I had no money to buy my snacks, they gave me food. When I had many things to do, they help me. When I am sad, they made me smile.

I’m used to that situation so, when I entered a new school, I was very afraid to be alone. Un fortunately, that goes around a week. I am so sad because I am the only person in the room who have not talked to anyone on that time. I don’t know why but maybe I’m just shy. Later on, I also tried to reach out to them because they will be my companion nowadays.

In my first year in high school, I already had a circle of friends. Belongs to this group are Geraldine, Celestino, Mariano, Samantha, Ij, Kent F. and Kent M and of course, me. We cannot escape the fact that there will be conflicts(like Mariano and Sam) and crushes( like Geraldine and Celes). Mariano always tease Sam and Ij. Kent F. is the most childish in the group, she often call me “ate” even though he is older than me. One of our bonding moments is studying during break time. We also do the game ‘dare2x’ and we eat lunch together sometimes.

I enjoy with my new friends but I would not forget my old true friends.
