People I Miss ~ Pt. 1

Jun 28, 2008 13:51

I'm going to be doing something new. Every once and a while, I'm going to post an entry about someone who has impacted my life in some way or another, and who I don't talk to as much anymore, or maybe not even at all. They'll be tagged as "PIM" entries. These people are in no particular order, just posted as I think of them in my everyday life.



Name: Ling Gao
Met in: 1999
Last seen: 7 years ago.

Ling and I met in 5th grade. She was new to Prospect St. Elementary, and spoke little English. I remember she always wore the same couple outfits, and I felt bad that she didn't have more of a wardrobe. Anyway, I became friends with her quite quickly, and I remember feeling like I was in competition with another classmate of mine for her friendship. Ling got sick a lot, which made me uneasy, (my emetophobia) but I never stopped being friends with her. She taught me how to make origami and how to draw anime. We worked together on every project, and I helped her to learn English, bit by bit. In 6th grade, she was on a different color team than I was, so we didn't see eachother as much. At the beginning of 7th grade, I learned she had moved, and I never got to say goodbye to her. I haven't talked to or heard from her since.
