smart way

You should say:

– Who this person is

– What the problem was
– How he/she solved it
– And explain why you think he/she did it in a smart way

Well, I would say that I’m a moody person and don’t have a bubbly personality.
I’m inclined to fly off the handle or take my anger out on surrounding people
when I encounter difficult or unpleasant things. I think that’s also the reason
why a myriad of fellow students don't have affection for me. But I can relate.
You know, every so often I feel hostile towards myself because of my
temperamental nature. But I should count myself lucky as I’m friends with a
gentle and gracious girl. She’s none other than my bosom pal- Mai Trang.
I remember vividly the time when we were 10th graders. At the time, I had
physical education. My teacher didn’t compel us to do some physical activities.
So I just roamed around the schoolyard then shot the breeze with my classmates.
Some of the boys in my class played football with each other. They horsed
around happily and excitedly then the clanking of the mirror came out of the
blue. I was startled and nearly jumped out of my skin. It turned out that they had
a shot at a motorcycle mirror and broke it by mistake. Well, believe it or not, I
didn’t have an intention to take it into account because at any rate, it was none
of my business. I didn’t have time to keep my nose in it. However, I lingered on
this familiar motorcycle, and boom, I came to realize that it was the beloved
vehicle of my best friend. I got so frustrated when seeing culprits were on the
point of escaping from the crime scene. I was shaking with rage to witness the
mirror fall apart. You know, this cycle meant a lot to my best friend as It was a
gift she received from her parents for her academic achievement. I ground my
teeth and came up to my classmates in order to give them a piece of my mind. I
forced them to be in charge of their wrongdoing and make a heartfelt apology to
Mai Trang.
And as I expected, they did my words. But the thing making me astonished was
my buddy’s relaxed attitude. I thought she must have been upset more or less.
But she chose to hide her feelings to mitigate the strained atmosphere between
us. To tell the truth, I had great respect for her composure and interpersonal
problem-solving skills. No wonder why loads of boys out there carry a torch for
my friend.
