Friendship
It was one day at school when a new student had walked into my class. All of a sudden, it had reminded me of when I was new kid in school. I was kind of shy and scared at the same time. It had started when I moved to Utah with my family. I was going to attend David Gourley Elementary.

When I was in the 7th grade, I was the type that never wanted to do work. I was always a lazy kid, doing work for me wasn’t my thing.

The sun dims it's own glimmering face on the surface of the still river water,

The sun strikes hard merciless,
Each pebble thrown in the still...
