The quality of an ideal friend

I have met many friends in my life, but I believe that I have only one ideal friend. I met her in my first year of university, but we became close in the second year. Now we are studying in different departments, but we still make time for each other. She is the only person whom I truly respect. There are many reasons that make me trust and believe in her.

She is the youngest daughter in her family. Her parents passed away when she was in grade 10. She has two older sisters who support her now. Even though she no longer has her parents, she remains strong. She has taught me many things. When I am with her, I feel that she is truly honest with me. She tells me everything she has experienced in both the past and the present. When I do something wrong, she rarely blames me; instead, she guides me in the right direction. She always says that no one is perfect and that we should just try our best.

To be honest, I am a temperamental person. I often feel disappointed with others, sometimes even over small things. When I get angry with someone, I usually talk to her about it. She listens quietly and does not say anything until I finish. Then she tells me to stay calm and reminds me that the problem will pass soon and is not worth overthinking. Sometimes I also get angry with her, but she always talks to me gently and does not care who is right or wrong because she understands me. She accepts me for who I am.

Another thing is that I am shy in class. In our English class, the teacher asked us to give a presentation instead of taking a midterm examination. At that time, I told her that I could not do it because I was afraid of speaking in front of many people and felt insecure about my English pronunciation. She spent one hour encouraging me and giving me advice to face my fear. After that day, I tried little by little to change myself. When the presentation day arrived, I passed with a good score. Even though it was not the best, it was still an achievement for me.

In conclusion, having an ideal friend is a great blessing because they care for us like family. They never let us feel alone, they are honest, and they always listen to our thoughts, whether good or bad. To sum up, when we have an ideal friend, we should understand, love, and take care of each other so that we do not feel regret when time has passed.
