Emotional Support
Two years ago, I met a beautiful young girl name Salma. I met her at a family luncheon gathering. Her brother introduced us and immediately a connection was formed. After a couple of months of trying to get to know each other, I started to discover great things about her. She was extremely smart and kind. She had a great personality that shined. Salma was always a positive person and tried to bring the best out of me. Salma was always there for me when I needed anything. A couple of weeks ago, my grandmother passed away. I was at my lowest point in my life. I was extremely sad and depressed. However, I knew I could always rely on Salma. I would call her in the middle of the night and she was there to pick up my phone calls. When I needed someone to express my emotions to, she was there. She always encouraged me to look on the bright side of things. She always ensured me that better days were going to come because death is a part of life that we simply have to deal with. She helped me cope and deal with the loss of my grandmother. We would do activities such as working out and cooking together to keep my mind off the death of my grandmother. Salma comforted me by having a shoulder to cry on when I didn’t have anyone else. She was the only person that could understand my feelings and what I was going through. Salma also supported me emotionally. There were times when I had difficulties in school and I felt like giving up. However, she encouraged me keep pushing harder to accomplish my goals. She helped me understand that there are going to be struggles that we face in this world but we cannot give up and run from our problems. She supported me by giving me great advice and pushing me to do my best with my academics. Her words of encouragement boosted my self-esteem to accomplish my goals. I am extremely grateful to have someone like Salma in my life.
