My Friend Lydia

We have known each other for about two months. When I first met her at Pacific Gateway, she seemed like she was uptight . She already had good abilities including speaking, listening, and reading skills, even if it was at the beginning of the first session, and she wasn't nervous at all during her presentation. Although we were just acquaintances, it was enough to make me impressed .
I found out more about her, however, when she had made lots of funny events. For instance, we went to Pacific Gateway to check our Am&Pm classes at the end of the third session. When we went through the door, new students had just finished their first test in Pacific Gateway, so we tried to walk quietly. When I was about to go down the stairs which connected from the ninth floor to the eighth floor, I heard some strange sounds. She had just smacked into the wall. Ouch! She was almost crying when I reached to her. She was a little bit careless and clumsy. After lots of funny events, we were able to get close to each other, even if we hadn't known each other for a long time.

One day, I asked her what was the happiest memory since she came to Toronto. Without hesitation, she said she was extremely happy when she first ate Korean food in the Christie area with us after school activities. I totally agreed with her. While waiters were serving food, we were pigging out on our food as much as we could . When we realized that we had eaten too much, we looked like pregnant women. We weren't able to stop laughing each other.

I have never had a woman friend as a best friend. Even though making a best friend is never as simple as it seems, I'll willingly try to make a best friend as I've always done.
