    A LESSON IN FRIENDSHIP
    I learned the hard way how to make friends in a new school. At my old school in
    Toronto, I was on the football and track teams, so I was very popular and had
    lots of friends. Everything changed when I was sixteen years old because my
    parents decided to move to Florida. Going to a new school was not easy for me.
    The first few days in my new school were extremely difficult. The class schedule
    was difficult, and the teachers were more informal than in my old school. All the
    students dressed casually in shorts and T-shirts instead of a school uniform.
    Some kids tried to be nice to me, but I did not want to talk to them. To me, they
    looked and acted funny! After a few weeks, I realized that no one even tried to
    talk to me anymore. I began to feel lonely. Two months passed before I
    swallowed my pride and got the courage to talk to a few classmates. Finally, I
    realized that they were normal people, just like me. I began to develop some
    relationships, and eventually some good friendships. I learned a valuable lesson
    about making friends that year.
