Friendship
When I was 5, I used to say that everyone in my class was my friend. I really wasn’t particular about who I would hang out with. If they’d share their snacks and toys with me- they were considered one of my best friends! At that age, I didn’t have many kids my own age that I’d see regularly so I was really excited to make new friends. The more the merrier!

Nevertheless, every time we do see each other, we’re able to pick up right where we left off, talking for hours on end and catching up. I’m thankful for those friends. I’d also say that we’re much closer than many of the people that I’ve been going to school with for
