A best friend can mean different types of things to an individual. To me, they are your closest and most special friend you know. You do practically everything with them. Some think you can only have one best friend and some think you can have more than one like me; I have two, Anil and Rose.

StrengthsQuest Paper My Strengths are Discovered! “By the end of the day you must achieve something tangible in order to feel good about yourself.
