My friend in my childhood and my friend now

Friendship is one of the greatest blessings that not everyone is lucky enough to have. We meet a lot of people in the journey of life but there are only a few who leave a mark on us. My best friend is one such person who has been able to make a positive impact on my life. We have been a part of each other’s lives for the longest time and our friendship is still developing. Our friendship started when my best friend came in as a new admission to our class. The earliest childhood friend I remember was my classmate,Xursand. We have known each other since we were in the first grade. In comparison now, Rasul, the person who is one of my best friend I have ever met. In my opinion, Both Rasul and Xursand are more like brothers than friends. With Xursand, we lived about a mile away from each other, at that time during the summer time we were inseparable. Our day would start off doing with each of us doing our daily housework. This doesn’t mean that is how it always worked out. But, normally we did do our work first. Every day after I finished my chores, I would ride my bike to Xursand’s house. Similarly to Rasul, As it is visible that we are students so anyway most of our free time we got together and go somewhere to get concentrate our mind. He always takes care of me like Xursand. Both of them inspire me to become better humans. We push each other to do our best and we are always there in need. A best friend is indeed a precious fortunate.
