Anna comes to me as my closest buddy when I think about it. We go back a long way. In fact, we've been buddies since my freshman year of college. To this day, I recall well the first time I met her in grammar class. At first, I mistook her for a chatty and impolite young lady. However, as I got to know Anna better, I found she was a really likable person with whom I shared many interests.

Anna and I are polar opposites in terms of personality. While she is kind and tolerant, I am somewhat irritable and reserved. Anna's ability to communicate effectively is one of her most remarkable personality attributes in my opinion. I mean, she can easily strike up a conversation with everyone she meets for the first time. As different as our personalities are, we agree on a lot of things, including marriage, job, and life perspectives.

We used to go out every other week when we were still in college, primarily to the movies or to food vendors near our school. Now that we've graduated, she and I don't see one other as frequently as we used to since we're both usually busy with work. Because I only see her every other month, we always have a lot to catch up on.

Anna is my best buddy for several reasons. First and foremost, she respects and loves me for who I am. Second, despite her demanding schedule, she is always prepared to provide a sympathetic ear if I am experiencing difficulties or feeling demotivated.
