I am still in touch with my best of friends. Through ups and downs, there will always a time that we’ll hung out together then we’ll update each other regarding on our field and more of those.

I understand that as we grow older, we meet new people and make new friends, but what I can’t understand is why do you have to forget the people that you have been friends first? Is that really easy to just leave them behind?

When I was in my fifth grade, I became interested in becoming a taekwondo player. It all started as a part of our P.E. activity about sports. At first, my mom won’t allow me to join in the school’s taekwondo team because she said that I was just wasting my time in hurting myself. On the other hand, my dad was not against my decision because he is the one who persuaded my mom for her to allow me which, I find surprising because he supported me for what I want. He reasoned that taekwondo will be helpful to me because I can use this as a self-defense against bad people and a way to boost my self-confidence by trusting myself.

All I did was to wake up, eat, go to school, read books, do my home works, sleep, and repeat. Because of this everyday life, my only friends are my story books, stuff toys, and dolls. My dad also bought me some RC helicopters, toy cars, robots and more of battery operated toys for boys.
