A new school year

A new school year begins! Lots of new things to learn; lots of new people to meet; perhaps some new friends. 

Every little thing we learn, we get to keep forever.  Every friend we make can also be a friend forever.

I hope I can be a good friend to those who choose me to be their friend.  I think that means asking myself "What would my friend like?" before deciding what I would like.  Perhaps it will make me happier to do some things my friend likes, rather than to do the things I like and be alone.

Does that make sense?
