One of the most special objects given to me was my hair tie. Why? Because it is also a promise. A promise that one day I will give it back to one of my best friends about this time filled with good moments and happiness that I lived during one year, and then she will give me another object to use and I will give her another one too. It is nothing expensive or surprising. Sometimes there are things that we use daily but we don’t give it its correct value. With this I learned that even simple things can make our days and other peoples days better. My friend, Beatriz (Bya) lives in Brazil, more specifically in the north of the country. We studied in the same school but in different classes. With time we became closer until the day I moved to the United States, so this is sort of a record of the good days where we were always together and happy and also a promise of coming back every year and once in a while being happy like old days.
