My Best Friend

Although I have many friends, there is only one friend whom I really trust and care about. Her name is Ivy Alexandra.

Ivy is an only child but she does not have indulgent parents. They do not pamper her. They allow her to learn to be independent. she is nice and helpful, unlike other friends I know who are selfish, arrogant spoilt brats.

We had known each other since we were young. During our childhood, she always lent me a helping hand and stood up for me whenever I was bullied. She was always by my side when I needed her assistance. We respect and care about each other like sisters.

She helped me learn to stick up for myself. When I was young, I was quite a coward and was always bullied by my classmates. I learnt a lot from her. Now that we have grown up, we still face any crisis together.

She has an outstanding personality which I admire. She never gives up because of failure. She will strive until she succeeds. She passes her examinations with flying colours.

When people meet her for the first time, they would think that she's rather fierce, but behind this facadeis a generous and caring girl. She never hesitates to donate to the needy.

She is good at sports too and would have made a good athlete but she is too busy to spare time for it. She is talented in dancing and has achieved good grades.

One more thing that is special about her is that she can both be serious and playful. As a class monitor, she is serious and responsible in carrying out her duties. However, when she is around her close friends, she is playful.

She is one in a million. She is popular in school. I have to admit that sometimes we argue but it only takes two minutes to make up. We will be best friends forever.
