Model Answer 1:
We meet some people in life who appear to bring some changes, and
Samantha Rozario belongs to those people
who changed my life to the
greatest extent.
When I was high school teenager, I met with Samantha at my school. She is an
outstanding smart girl and simultaneously meritorious. She had a photographic
memory and could remember anything that she read or seen once.
Fortunately, she lived in the same street where I lived in Paris and we had a
very good relation as we two used to ride a bicycle for reaching the school.
Sometimes, she took me on her back of the bicycle when my own needed
servicing. She gradually turned into my best friend and
I learnt a lot of things
from her. She was intelligent and good at several subjects especially math and
science. So, she helped me in preparing notes for the exams and also helped
me in extracurricular activities. She was an adorable girl with her pleasant
behaves with all.
I have known her when I was in my 13 and belonged to the high school. Now I
am 23 and she is still my best friend for past five years though I know her for
past 10 years. But if I count
the years of our friendship, then it would be nine
years altogether as the first year went on to get introduced to her properly.
Since she was in the neighbourhood, we used to meet almost in every evening
at her or my space and did many enjoying things. Sometimes, in school, she
played to role of class coordinator and I turned her assistant while when I was
made
the coordinator, she had to be my assistant. Our relationship grew
stronger with the passage of time and we started understanding each other as
good friends. Gradually she turned into my friends I am to her.
The things we did together are countless and still we do whenever we get
chance. When we were teens, we used to watch cartoons together at my
home. Sometimes she invited me at her place to watch
cartoons specially the
Tom and Jerry Show in the afternoon. Besides, we used to perform our school
home works together. Sometimes, we used to play outdoor games in the
school playground with the other mates and friends. Importantly, Samantha
liked to play chess and also made a skilled chess player.
Now I am a local chess
champion. She also had an attraction for video games and she also transferred
the attraction on me very successfully. But the teenage days have been over
for past few years. She has shifted from Paris but distance is not a problem for
us to keep our friendship alive. Still we meet together and pass a few days
whenever we could manage time. Sometimes she comes to visit me or if she
cannot manage time I go to meet her.
She is the individual who can make you feel comfortable with her within a
second. Her personality is pleasant and she never
speaks without any smile
with others. The most important factor is her extraordinary intelligence. She
taught me about different things and how to deal with them. I have lost my
anger and regrets after being friend with her. She is blessed with humane
qualities and has also transferred some of them on me. Now I can talk smilingly
even on the worst situations and trickily get my jobs done. Besides, I know how
to handle tougher situations when the mistake is mine (I learnt it for Samantha
as well). I also learnt to be humble when I am
to deal with people and I
underscore on listening to them instead of responding unnecessarily. Gradually
I have turned into a good human being and she is my inspiration for all of my
good deeds.
