Friendship

I have many friends, but one of them is my best friend. She always wants to hear all about my problems, and usually I also will hear her problems too. We try to get along with our problems and always look for better solutions.

I met her at the garden of my farmer elementary school. Her parents are my parent’s friends. I was very surprised when I knew that’s her house was near my house.

And then, if we wanted to go somewhere, to a mall or another place we always did it at the weekend.

Her name’s Novita and her nick name’s Novi. Her birthday is 21 November. Her favourite pet is cat; she has one cat in her house. Her favourite colour is pink, the same preference as mine. We usually played games like doll games or dancing in my room or her room.

Now, we meet very rarely and have never been together anymore to go to another place or somewhere, because this year had been very busy. But last month, we could meet again at our former elementary school and in a mall in the Jakarta city. After that we went around the mall and that time we were accompanied by other friends.

At my new school in The Hague I have a friend. Her name’s Nia. She’s like my sister. She’s very care and good with me like a big sister. She’s 17 years old and she comes from Indonesia too.

But we can’t play just with our best friend. We should play with other friends too. For many people in the world actually having a friendship is so important. (Tasya K., II SMP, 28 October 2004)
