Bushra: A friend!

Well, to most of you, this topic is eternally condemned to your primary school years, since this was the last time anyone was asked to write a review about a friend. What is a friend? Is it someone you have a fun time with? Or someone you know you can trust? Someone who inspires you to be a better person? Someone who pushes you into proving yourself? Well, if your definition of a friend is anything like the latter, then Bushra Ali is definitely as good as a friend could possibly get.

Let me dictate how I first met Bushra for a start. Back at Westminster, I used to be part of an amazing extracurricular activity, known as The Third Dimensional Thinkers, directed by the School’s Vice Principal, Mr. Kingston Gilbert. It was like our own little version of TED. Anyway, Bushra was three years senior to me, so when I was a mere freshman, leading the members from my year, she was a senior, leading hers. I happened to come across her a couple of times in Mr. Kingston’s office and we even tried to work on making a social network for the school, which according to my memory, ended in catastrophic failure. Then, Bushra graduated.

Yet, this wasn’t the end of it. We chatted on Facebook consistently since then, and then only, I finally understood the sheer genius that Bushra was. Other than her academic distinction, Bushra is the kind of person who is always filled with vitality, optimism and enthusiasm that could light the world on fire. She holds a unique essence that makes you smile on the gloomiest day.

Bushra is hardworking and makes you want to aspire to prove yourself equivalent to her. She is dedicated to her friends in a manner of her own as she responds to any issues you inquire about with long, inspiring prose that instantaneously makes you look at the world from a new perspective.

I won’t dictate all her achievements here because it would take a couple of pages, but I know for a fact that if someone, from the upcoming generation will do great things in the world, it’s her! A warm hearted thank you to her for making my world a much more live-able place!
