I have always planned to get a profession as a teacher since I came to this university as an English major. Many reasons contribute to this decision: the working environment are so familiar to me that I do not need to spend time adapting to it, the influence from my relatives for some of my cousins are working as a teacher, the comparative stability of being an English teacher and so on. Thus I applied for the Teacher Qualification Test during the examination week of our school. After the examination our college would move to another campus to go on our forth year’s education.

Unfortunately, the time planned to participate in the compulsory remedial class was collided with the time to move. There was a contradiction that if I went to attend the remedial class I could not arrange my possessions, and if I chose to skip the class that would means I could not attend the test and I could not have the opportunity to apply for that position. Faced with this difficult choice, I intended to find anyone who can help me arrange the moving affairs. I looked through my phone number book and tried to find someone I can depend on. However, the things seemed not as I expected as I almost could not find one friend who can help me deal with this problem. I felt very depressed and lay on the bed hopelessly. Many happy scenes happened in my high school came to my mind while my eyes moistened and my thoughts were all about one of my best friends who is far away from me.

Then I started to think about my university life where I have spent almost three years. Frankly speaking, I have made some friends in this university especially through some activities, but almost no one can be regarded as my best friend. Maybe it is the cultural differences which made me could not accept them as my dependence as in my high school. I could not persuade myself to open my heart to them because we are not sharing some basic notions. It may be the problem of distrust which I have never noticed from myself. When I saw a group of friends walking and traveling together I was so envious that I even wanted to back home. However, I still hold the belief that someday I can find someone here with whom I can share my heart.

Friend is one who can share happiness and sorrows with you and he or she can be anyone in your life if you keep on believing and finding. Friendship is one of the basic elements of our life and we are looking for the right one who can fill in that place. When we feel lonely in a strange place it can warm our heart; when we are faced with some difficulties in life it can encourage us overcome them; when we reach the bottom of our life it can light our path and cheer us on. However, sometimes we should learn to depend on ourselves because we could not be the slave of friendship and we need to show our individuality.
