This I Believe


I believe that one true friend is better than many. If friends are not with me when I need them, they are not true friends. I believe that people sometimes feel alone, even among their friends because they are not their true friends.

I have had many friends for my 16 years. I don’t use the word to anybody even if she is about my age. I call ‘friend’ to a person whom I believe and can share my everything. Finding the real friend is not that easy.

When I was in the 6th grade, I went to Australia for winter vacation to study English. I went there with my two classmates. But I didn’t even talk with them. All girls in our school didn’t like those girls. So they only played each other. I talked with two girls a lot. I wanted them to be my friends. We became friends, and we came back to Korean school, I wanted girls to be closer with my friends. One of girls tried to separate my best friend and me, but my best friend stayed with me. I realized that people don’t need many friends and there are fake friends.

I believe that one true friend is better than many. I also believe that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
