Getting along well
I met my childhood best friend, Susan, when I was nine years old. We were next door neighbors in a brand new neighborhood. We were almost the same age (she’s one year younger than me), so we had the same interests and we enjoyed each other’s company. I’ve known Susan for almost 21 years and I’m lucky enough to have a friend like her in my life.

Anna I met my teenage best friend, Anna, on a summer camp when we were 14 years old. We were on a confirmation camp and we had mutual friends there. The first time I met her, I just hated her. I didn´t get along with her. She never stopped talking! She was constantly gabbling about something and I remember wishing she would just shut up! As time went by we realized we lived close to each other and she was all excited that we could meet after the camp too. I wasn’t.
Well, after the camp was over, I tried to avoid meeting her, but I was just way too nice and couldn’t say no, so we met a couple of times. Once I got to know her, It turned out that she is a wonderful person with the greatest personality and I don’t want to live my life without her. We are still best friends. We haven´t lost touch even though we live in different cities. Luckily it’s only a two-hour drive away so we often hang out and go shopping together or sometimes we catch up over at skype.
