My best friend

PERSON

EDRIS

by Choman from Sulaimanya, Iraq

My best friend's name is Edris. We are in the same class (second stage) in Bakrajo Agriculture High School, Sulaimanya City (the north of Iraq).

my best friend (in the class)

Edris treats me like a bigger brother, we have a great friendship. He is too tolerant, especially when I do a mistake. He forgives me and shows me the right way to do it. He is the only son in his family with 3 sisters. His father was died in a car accident in Drbandixan so he has been working during this period until now.

Edris is my hero. He is trustworthy, tolerant, tidy, loyal, lenient and mannerly. When I do my homework he helps me as he can. Also he can keep my secrets, advise me to do the best. I like him and wish to compete with him by getting the higher degree in the lessons. He makes me surprised when he studies and works as a driver at the same time. Edris is hoping to be a manager or to work in an agricultural office.

Edris with me (in the class)

Your best friend should participate in your happiness and sadness, never forgetting you.

Friendship is like a bridge between two souls, like a stone. Only betrayal can destroy it.
