My New Friend by Parvina Tohirova

I changed my English 88 class to ESL 94 class and there i met a new friend Jenny. Her real name is Jie Lin and she emigrated with her family from China to the United States two years ago. She is a very dependable, diligent, cheerful and talented person. Her goals to graduate college in two years and to be a nurse in the future. Jenny is very dependable person. A dependable friend is someone you could trust with your secrets and you know they would never tell. Jenny said her friends like to tell their secrets to her because they know that she will not tell others. They know they can depend on her not to reveal their secrets. I think Jenny is a girl who i can trust and person who i can tell my secrets to. I believe that Jenny is diligent person, that is someone who is works hard and carefully. During the class, i saw how Jenny was participating and doing her work. She said before when she started college, she worked in a Chinese restaurant for two years and worked six days a week. Now that she started college, she said she was first in ESL 54. Also, she said she struggled with her English class because English is her second language. She did very well on her homework and class work: however, she poorly wrote essays. Nevertheless, this past summer, she tried her best to improve her English. She did self-study at home and read more books. After this summer, her writing skills were much better. Now, with her hard work she has skipped ESL 62 and now she is in ESL 94. Learning all that, i knew she is diligent person. I also found out that Jenny is a very cheerful person. The definition of cheerful is a person or thing that brings joy, humor or good spirits. Jenny is the person i know that under any conditions is always smiles. She apparently enjoys every single second deal with of her life. A cheerful energetic girl like Jenny has the perfect energy to a bad day. She always has a way to chew anyone up. Her unique ways always works. Cheerfulness makes her a helpful person, as well for Jenny has the intention to help people out through influencing them with her positive attitude. Jenny is a person, whenever you get mad or in a bad mood, is always be able to change it magically make you smile. Jenny also is talented. She knows how to cook Chinese food, dumplings,scallion, pancakes, spring rolls and home style tofu. She knows hoe to bake cakes and muffins. She said when she was twelve years old, she learned to cook and last year she learned to bake. While she was talking about her talents and food, i got really hungry. I think Jenny will be a nurse in the future because of her reactions and actives. I motivate myself to be like her. Her never ending kindness and her outsizes sense of humor will always have a place in my heart. Even we had short time for our conversation, we already become good friends. I'm glad to have her as a new friend.
