My Bestfriend Christina

LIKE SISTERS

I cannot imagine life without Christina . In fact , I cannot remember a time in my life when she was not there with me or for me . More than best friends , we are like sisters . We shop together and we talk about everything and anything . And just like sisters , we too have our own fair share of misunderstandings and arguments but in the end , it is our bond of friendship that makes us kiss and make up

She always told me that the problems that come my way are just challenges in life that I must overcome to become a stronger and more mature person . During those times when I have lost hope , her hug or simple pat on the shoulder would make everything alright because she makes me feel that I do not have to go through life alone

It is from Christina that I have learned that there is something good in every person and in every thing . I must admit that I am a very judgmental person but Christina has influenced me to be more open minded about how I perceive the people I meet and the things that I encounter She would constantly tell me the clichy don 't judge a book by its cover and I would just laugh her off . But then she would remind me of the circumstances on how we started becoming friends . And she 's right that by her appearance alone , I will choose not to be friends with her . But she is also correct that since I took time to get to know her , I...
