In these days, the concept of 'Individualism' became a de facto standard of the world; It is now commonly seen that people enjoy their free time only by themselves. However, it does not mean that importance of friendship is getting weaker. People still enjoy hanging out with friends and share their unforgettable memories with them. I also have a lot of important memories with my best friends. Out of these memories, the president election in 2008 was the most impressive event in my life.
Last year, I became a candidate to my school's president election. At that time, I was so desperate that I asked my best friends to help me prepare for the election. As they said "Why not?", We went to every class to give impressive speeches and good first impression to students. I even danced "So hot",a popular dance song in Korea, with my friends. Fortunately, I found myself that I was elected for the vice president of my school.
After the election, this precious event made me rethink about my friends. In the past, I thought friends are people who are just enjoying with and having lunch with. However, this bias was totally broken after the event. During the election, my besty friends actually cared about me so much that they said they would do whatever they can do. Also whenever I get depressed by opponent's shouting and swearing, they encouraged me like my mom and said "Soon you will surprise the whole entire students by one good news you desire to hear. And we should get ready for enjoying that moment". When the election was over, I felt thankful to my friends and these friends reminded me a proverb - "A friend in need is a friend indeed"
Friends are not just people who are hanging out with but who are thankful to just be there. From the most unforgettable event with my friends, I realized that friends are essential parts of my life. After the unforgettable election, I became positive to share happy and great experiences with best friends for my entire life. |
