A different perspective

A wonderful quote from the Bible, John 5:3, states that “The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them”. Friends, I think for one of us, is the most treasured gifts we receive from the divine person above aside from our parents. We may have met them in schools, parks or any part of the world where we interact with people. Mostly, friendship is given to everybody but there are only some of them who appreciates the move you have made and others my disregard it. When that gift is received whole-heartedly, a different bond is now created. As time went by, this feeling of anticipation is tested and if the clique has overcame the challenge, as well as offer their selves for its members, and it is a proof that each one in their group is true.

Cliques are formed by individuals of different culture, belief, and attitudes. This is the main reason why sometimes misunderstanding is triggered especially when people around them have different thinking than them. I, myself, belong to a group called FAJJYMEASS. Before, it was only FAJYME which represents for Florianne, Aiko, Jessa, Yolike, Michelle and Ernestine then Jezza, April, Shallunah and Sunshine came. At first, our small company was full of nice experiences especially when we eat together at section Bartlett. Another group was formed, still in Bartlett, called EECOGS. Their bunch was very opposite to ours. Time came when some of our members quit the group and transferred to the other one because of some misunderstanding. Even though our group ended up this way, I’m happy that our former members are still my friends. We conquered our quest for the first year in high school and second year came. I found new friends which are from Villamor like Juna, Novelyn, Czarina, Hazel, Doanne, April and many more. It was fun spending time with them for I was also talkative so we share ides and principles in life with them. In third year, it was quite lonely because most of my friends re in Sison but it were not bad at all. I discovered that some of my classmates like Eldee, was not that “selfish” as what others would say. Nico, a friend of mine since elementary, became one of my trusted friend. Michael, our batch’s math wizard, had the biggest contribution of all. He tells us corny jokes which are difficult to comprehend which, in the end, is the source of a boisterous laughter. We called our group the “Corny Corner”. I’m now in fourth year and things had changed. The childish students before are now matured even though some re still not that matured. I’m happy because a lot of my friends re in IV-TAN. I’ve encountered so many problems in school but my dear friends are there to help me. Happily, I was considered to be one of April’s daughters and became one of the ROYAL FAMILY. At first, I was shy because I think I’m not welcome to their group but they proved me wrong. They accepted me wholly without criticizing me.

As we grow older, we don’t think of the bad memories anymore. Instead, we cherish the fact that we had once lived; fight and felt love from our friends.
