Friends are a mirror image of who you are!
ARE WE living SUPRESSED?
Our friend April introduced us, she's from a country called Bangladesh! At first I thought she was Latina. Once I got to know her, I appreciated her sincerity, honesty, and sense of humor! She's definitely someone special!
I could always count on her to help me out when I was in need!
She's from Guatemala, always wearing a thousand hats being a student, friend, working hard, and trying to find time for her family. Constantly fighting for what she wants. To achieve high status in her economic and emotional life is her ultimate goal! Of course, with the man of her dreams!
We met at the school's Tutorial Services! She was the first African American person, I met that had such a love for the Spanish Language, that she wasn't afraid to Tutor in it! Applaud! She's a dedicated hard working individual! She's committed, and dedicated to perfection! She sometimes calls me her ex-roomate, which makes me want to call her, my ex-friend! Our friendship survived us living together for one year!
My roomate! We lived together for six weeks during the EOF pre-freshman summer program. We were Math Tutors. It was amazing to see how easily we were able to get along on the first few day we met...
Another college friend that has helped me through rough times, whether is giving me a ride, or just offering a listening ear!! :)
My family forever teased me about "supposedly" having a crush on him. We went back to preschool, but I only remember him sitting in back of him in first grade!
A Puerto Rican traditional girl, living at home by the rules of her parents, showing me peeps do not have to always change. Like great friends, everyone thought that we were related, they continously asked us if we were cousins or sisters...She is my so called "sister" in Spirit! :)
We chatted for hours over the phone, after class we discussed our homework. She was my first best friend ever! I missed her when I came to Jersey, back in 85!
With extremely little support, she has survived many challenges! One of the strongest persons I know. I would have never guessed...back in the 6th grade, the way she's grown.
We went together to a LASO meeting. As a Cuban American, she has a strong interest in the Latino Culture. She is an intelligent and generous person. She is studying to be a great medical doctor some day! Now married to a Cuban man. :)
We met in a retreat of 5 days, and in that little time, I learned a few things about myself. He was sensitive, sincere and dreamy!
In second grade, I had my first experience meeting folks that were not from P.R. She is from El Salvador. She is one my first friend in the states, friendly and full of smiles. I will never forget her!
