Helen keller once said,

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light

My friend friendship is one binding force as you have stated, It could even be more stronger than ionic bonds. We the four musketeers have been friends for more the 4 lunar years and I am rest assured that its bond is getting more stronger and we will always be together. Personally I have benefitted a lot from our friendship because the encouragement I have received not to back down have always kept me soaring even though I lack motivation. You have greatly describe me as one who have taught you resilence(i.e moving from a point of depression to happiness, from mediocracy to stardom, from dependency to independency). I am very glad that our few years of friendship has brought about this mutual symbiotic benefits between us. Our 4 musketeership friendship will not only end within the four walls of the university but will extend further even to old age. We will continue to be friends. Special thanks for inviting me to this contest I will be back soon. ❤️
