I was best friends with a girl, we could finish each other’s sentences, and we always knew what the other was thinking. We shared everything, all the events of our daily lives, significant or not. Still, I felt there a certain impenetrable wall, behind which she often hid, with a blank smile on her face to avoid having to answer any questions.

Lina was one of the coolest people that I have ever met. She was almost good at everything. She has never been perceived as attention-seeking or even narcissistic. She was very talkative and sometimes it was tiring for me. It can be said that she was a person with a very high degree of openness she was also very enthusiastic in everything that she pursued. For the time I spent with her, I realized that she was the most intriguing person and very different from the rest of my friends. She had unique qualities that were both manifested in her personal and professional life. She was friendly to almost everybody and for this reason, she had a lot of friends.

In addition, she was a very humble person. When you talk to her it was very difficult to know that she was from a well-up family. She treated everybody with respect regardless of age. She did not show any sign of pride or ego; she was willing to accommodate everyone from different backgrounds. This quality of being adaptable to any type of environment is what amazed me the most. This taught me to be always humble and to be dynamic in life. She liked to listen more than she talked despite knowing a lot of things and having had different experiences.

She was a down to earth and very agreeable. She was very flexible to solve conflicts. This quality was intriguing because she seemed to be able to solve any problem or conflict brought to her. She wished good for all people but was very protective of those people that she held dear to her heart. She enjoyed helping others and especially those that are in need. She was very responsive even in matters that did not concern her. She was open to diversity and open to learning without criticism. She always reminded me that moderation is very crucial in dealing with people. She also told me to be sensitive to others and try to understand people on a deeper level. She never neglected or assumed anyone. She paid attention to anyone this enabled her to interact well l with a lot of people and thus make many friends.

Lina was my best friend and there is a lot of reason for that. One was because she was a loyal and trustworthy friend. Whenever I needed help, she was the first person to offer a hand

She was very talented when in terms of public speaking and communication. She was confident and eloquent, and people liked to listen to her. She motivated people with her talks and speeches

She seemed like a model; she could lift one's spirit. Everyone wanted to be around her. We called her a role model. She could easily make people laugh simply by being herself. She loved to listen to people's problems and interject with quality advice that could help people solve the problems and struggle that they had. Most of the time I was mystified by her abilities to just sit and listen and people pour their problems to her expecting a solution. The most intriguing part about her abilities was that she could take any situation and turn it around and people see the best in the worst. She was very Enlighted on matters on life and relationships, she handled issues very well. She proves that she could have done in any situation. She laughed often and could bring joy even in the most barren situation.

She was one of the most responsible people that I know. Just being able to hand people's problems and still manage to do just well by herself was very commendable. I learned a lot from her. Her courage and confidence inspired me to stand against injustices. She was one of the smartest minds that excelled academically and also in life. She seemed to be multitalented. The quality that appealed to me the most was her compassionate nature. Whether it was toward the animals or fellow human beings, she always kept the same approach. For instance, there was a tie that she med an injured dog on her way home. She took the dog home, she even skipped school to nurse the dog, she treated the dog and adopted him.

There was a subtle air of mystery in her aura, and it often gave me the feeling that as well as I knew her, there was more to her than she ever let on. She was a unique person in many ways, a paradox of characteristics that is very difficult to find in any one person. She was strongly emotional and fearlessly opinionated. I often felt her fearless attitude was the foil for her insecurities and the untapped emotion inside her which she didn’t reveal to anyone.

She had a strong support system, a loving family, and a group of friends who truly cared, as friends should. She was always surrounded by family and friends, and I often felt like she was striving to be more expressive, to share her emotions so that she could become a better individual and learn from her experiences. But something inside of her didn’t let her, she would try, fail, and then retreat in her cozy cocoon, where she kept everyone at arm’s length, even her best friends. It didn’t stop her from wanting to be different though. She yearned desperately to become a more open person, to live her life out loud, to express her dreams and aspirations, her fears and insecurities, her inner self. She wanted to tell everyone around her that she was a person who loved, who needed to be loved, who believed and had dreams that she wished would someday come true. That she was different than the façade she had built around herself. It was only after a drastic event that fate threw her way, which changed her forever, and allowed this transformation to take place.
