The journey of growth is full of ups and downs. Everyone will meet problems during his growth.
Last month, I had an argument with my close friend because of different opinions. We were so angry with each other that we didn’t talk for a week. I felt upset and afraid to lose my best friend, so I asked my parents for help. They advised that I could say sorry first so that we could be friends again. I took courage and made it.
