I am sure that we all have friends. The word friend is not enough, at least not for me. Having friends is awesome but having real friends is even better. A real friend is not someone who will just stop to say hi, but is someone who you can trust and get advice from, someone who will not only be with you in your best moments but in your worst moments as well, even in the unimaginable situations of your life.
Before my 11th and 12th grade at school, I was sure that I had some real friends. Some at school, others from Regatas and water polo. Now that I look back into my life and realize how time goes by so quick, I am proud to say that in my last two years I have made 13 real friends, my innovation academy team. I am not going to lie, my team is made from really unique students, some that I never thought that could become so close to me before. This taught me a lesson as well, don’t look at people through the eyes of others. I know that through this year and a half, I can trust anyone in the IA with anything that I need. I just mentioned that I trust the 13 innovators with anything, and I do, but there’s always someone who becomes closer to you, someone who is an example to follow. In the Innovation Academy, I consider Domencio to be “the perfect friend”. As I mentioned before in my real friend description, Domenico is someone who follows the rubric as any other innovator but what makes him different is that he shares similar passions with me. He is the typical sporty guy, who takes care of himself and anyone who is near him, someone that try’s his max at anything he does and someone who doesn’t limit himself. |
