No one can deny that people need some friend. So do I. When I was in elementary school, I have a friend, named Jony. He was my classmate until 5th grade. He continued his study in Semarang because his father had to worked there. So, he and his family moved to Semarang. I lost contact with him until now.
One day, we were playing around the school yard with some friends. Some of friends insulted him because he has dark skin colour and don’t want to play with Jony. And I thought it was too much. I was angry with them and insulted them back. In some condition I’m bad tempered.^^v
But Jony said that “It’s alright. They’re right. I have dark skin. They’re just joking. Anyway, when someone insult you, don’t take it personal. Just laugh on it”. How wise he was, I thought.
Wow, I can’t accept those words that time. But time goes by, I learned something from Jony. Don’t get angry easily. Be a good friend for all people.
Someone also told me that “When one or two peoples around you don’t like your presence in a place, they’re just don’t like you. If more than five peoples don’t like you, you must introspect yourself about your character, habit, or anything inside you that someone else doesn’t like”.
What a great story and experience for you as a young boy. Your friend had a good attitude toward others. I like that you learned something from it, even if you could not accept his words at the time. Please add any new vocabulary that you have learned so far, thanks.
