A Friendship I Cherish: Learning from My High School Friend 'Zeo'

I have a friend whom I really like, let's call her 'Zeo' for now. We met in high school and I remember the first time I noticed her was when we were setting up a bulletin board and I saw that she had a beautiful handwriting, with bold and elegant strokes. I struck up a conversation with her and the more I got to know her, the more I liked her.

She's not someone who follows the crowd blindly, she won't watch a TV show just because everyone in our class is talking about it. She likes to collect quotes and sometimes even writes her own poems in the style of ancient Chinese poetry. She always appears calm and collected, but I know that sometimes she uses sarcasm to cope with negative emotions. She has her own principles, and when someone offends her with words, she will sternly tell them not to say that again.

She has high standards for herself, and she is good at learning from others' strengths. I have seen her gradually accumulating virtues over time. Being with her, I have learned a lot about life. We have done many childish things together, such as riding the kiddie train in the park. I miss the days when we were together all the time, and I look forward to meeting her again in the future.
