(Part 2)

You’ll know it when a person is your friend when you can eat their food even without permission or do pranks on them randomly (laughs).

My circle of friends expanded as the members of the student council increased. At first it was just purely school business, late night meetings, deadline of paper works left and right and some arguments which we use to call “healthy discussion”.

Members of the council are smart people; those old folks are pretty clever and got some serious leadership skills. Working with them allowed me to learn some of those characteristics they have possessed. The environment we had was different with the rest of the students, we were more exposed to the system of how the school works.

Our relationship towards one another wasn’t perfect. It came to a point where everyone is against one another due to different opinion and perspective, things got personal instead of handling it in a professional manner. We were a bit of a mess that time, but we manage to sort things out. Realization hit us so hard we even cried before saying apologies to one another.

The thing that put us back together in one piece is the importance of friendship. We became blinded with the authority and power we held in our hands. Desires and desperation consumes us the most letting us forget the people around us, our dear friends who have been with us since day 1.

Now everything is so much better, after all those struggles that we had, I can really say we made it. At the end of the day, our hearts long for companionship from people who are dear to us. I am glad we made this far and I know this won’t stop here. Later when all of us become successful in our own individual careers, we will be each other’s best man and bride’s maid (laughs).

Do you consider your friends as your precious treasure?
