What kind of person is Liz? My friend Liz is a true best friend. She always supports me in everything I want to do. When I wanted to go up North, she said she thought it would be a great experience and that it would help me develop my sense of adventure. Liz is not only a great supporter. She also trusts me to give her my hones opinion and to say what I feel. When she was upset with her sister one time, she asked me what I thought about it and I said she should wait and then she would find out the real reason why her sister was mad at her. And it happened that way. She knew she could trust me.
