A Person Who Has Made a Difference

A Person Who Has Made a Difference

   When I was studying at the university, there was an amazing person,

 

Wendy-Zhuang, who changed my life a lot. We studied in the same

 

major, we had the same English name and we also were college

 

roommates. At first sight, she had short hair, and wore T-shirt, jeans

 

and sneakers. I thought there is a tomboy who is going to live with

 

me. She was the first homosexual in my life. I was a little bit shocked and

 

wondered how to speak to her during these four-year life of dormitory.

 

Which way should I talk to her, as a girl or a boy? I was judging her by

 

her semblance. But I found out I was totally wrong by the first

 

impression.

 

   She loved reading and helping people. She admired knowledge and

 

she was reading all the time. I always called her Dr. Zhuang because she

 

learned wisdom. If  I had any kind of problem, no matter if it was a

 

studying question, a mental problem, or illness, she always could solve

 

these problems. On the other hand, she liked to help people out. She was

 

not only helping her friends, but also other people who needed help. She

 

had been a volunteer since she was in high school. Unlike her

 

appearance, she was an intelligent, wise, kindhearted and open-

 

minded girl. Although people are quick to give lesbian judgments, she

 

didn’t blame them, and sometimes thought of their ways.  I learned a lot

 

from her, such as reading broad, judging a person without appearance,

 

being open-minded and so on. We have been good friends for five years,

 

and she is my best friend, who always give herself to other people than is

 

helped by others.
