What's important to you? Why? (maximum 1,500 characters)
"Please form groups to complete the task," said my English teacher one day. While my classmates were busy setting up their teams, no one asked me to join. "Again? This is the fourth time I've been left out," I thought, and I ended up joining the leftover friends as if nothing had happened. That night, I couldn't hide my disappointment and called my best friend, Gizelle. "It's okay. I know how you feel," she said. Her simple words made me cry yet gave me relief. She even told me to reflect on whether I had made any mistakes. My other close friends also comforted me, which made me feel motivated to take action. After that, I talked to my parents who supported me, and discussed it with the class supervisor.
As time went by, I realized it was just a misunderstanding. Back then, I spent most of my break time or time after school ended with close friends from another class. However, I had never made an effort to socialize with my classmates and only focused on Q&A sessions with my teacher during lessons. Because of my close friends' support, I finally found the courage to resolve the problem by becoming more outgoing and helping others. After seven months, I've built a strong relationship with my peers and no longer struggle with joining teams for school assignments.
Like Gizelle, who always supports me in every situation and advises me when I'm wrong, I believe true communication and balanced friendships not only comfort me but also help me grow and connect with others.
