Students Speak

Lessons from a Friend We asked Middle School students what important lessons they have learned from a friend.

Here’s what they said:

“Be yourself! When you meet new people, be yourself; it’s the best thing about you.” —Lauren Mandala, Grade 7

“Even if you have to sacrifice something, being a real friend means that you will always be there to help.” —Jill Kiyingi, Grade 8

“Don’t stress over the small things you cannot change (like getting a bad mark on a test).” —Meena Verma, Grade 8
