My best friend in high school
□Where did you meet and how did you meet?
We met in our classroom the first day of high school. She was already there when I entered the classroom, and she was looking for someone to talk to, but not anyone, she was looking for someone she could connect to. That was me for some reason. I still don't know what she saw in me.
□Does she/he inspire you?
Yes, she inspired me in more than one way. In first place, this girl gave me a lot of advice, so I can say her pieces of advice inspired me, because I was inspired by her experience. Since she was a girl too mature for her age and she had a mindset the same as an adult, she talked to me from her experience. I'm glad I had her by my side at that time.
Secondly, she was an example of someone who works at a very young age. I admired that from her, and I feared she could be not safe out there working that young, but she was a tough girl.
□What best food does he like?
Her taste was quite simple, she liked the same food we are used to eat here commonly, and she loved fish above everything else.
I don't remember talking too much about food with her, actually.
□Are you still communicating with him?
Sadly, not. She died in 2010, three years after we graduated.
It's sad how things go. Carmen was a good girl who had a hard life, and was somehow forced to be more mature at a very young age by her circumstances. On top of things, she had this terrible accident in which she lost both her legs, and two days later died from a heart attack during surgery, leaving a baby behind.
The last time I had talked to her personally was on her birthday in July 2008. I was starting to study in the university, and she had just given birth to her child, Camila. After that, we only had conversations on the phone, especially by text messages.
□Just say some fun things about your friend and every other thing you want to tell us about your best friend.
Carmen had such a sense of humor! She made me laugh everyday at high school even though she wasn't joking all the time, she was just a funny-talker, just like me. You know when someone says something in a serious way, but it sounds hilarious? Well, she was just like that.
Her top advice that I remember, was this "never give a man all of yourself if that man shows no respect for you, only because you are in love." She doesn't know how much I appreciated this piece of advice, and still do. I wished she had had someone who advised her like she did with me, and could have prevented her from doing stuff she sure regretted later.
Thanks for reading!

Thank you @opera.shoujo for sharing about your friend Carmen. I hope her soul is resting in peace. I cannot imagine what her family and friends including you went through and are still going through. She left so early! To share such a traumatising event also needs a lot of courage. You have shown that courage here.
I am thankful for your invitation. I would try to participate in the contest.
