Rival

   Rival is the people that makes a person strive for something. They may also turn out to be one's enemies. But there's no reason for them not to be a friend as well. Sometimes when I think back about my primary and high school life, I have many rivals. There's the competitive ones, the reluctant, the hidden and others. But most of them becomes friends in the end. Its like in a story, but friendship sometimes does start with rivalry.

   I cherish those moments where competition is really something that drives me. I can safely say that I'm very competitive those early years, but not in an aggresive state though. It is just pure passion. I suppose that made me someone that is not afraid to voice my opinion as well. One cannot make me agree with something that I refuse to believe in until they heard my facts.

   Now that I'm in college, rivals still exists but not exactly competitive. This in turn has made me rust a bit in my debating skills and vocal opinions. Everyone is minding his own studies. This is peaceful and no doubt good....but...I relish that feel of competition....again.....
