Reading

This topic makes me think about my friend at my university whose name is Felix he is really into sports, mainly soccer and badminton, which are also my favorite sports. we have known each other since the very first recruitment meeting for student union in college. He was one of the first people waiting for the application. After some small talk, I found out that we had a lot of shared interests, especially with sport.

From then on, we often hung out together. I probably saw him 3 or 4 times a week. He is really an extrovert with a great sense of humor. Like I said before he is very passionate about the student union at our university. He worked very hard for the organization, mostly focusing on students, extracurricular activities like sports competitions between different departments and schools. Even  though he devoted all his effort, he never asked for something return.

As a friend, he is a loyal and righteous man. He is upfront, when we have different ideas or values. We usually have a lot of arguments. It is silly to me when I look back at all these arguments.
