Pre-reading Questions

Why do we have friends?

    Friends are people we confide in, who we trust to tell us the absolute truth. Friends are people who will stand up for us, watch out for us, and pick up the broken pieces when we are hurt. Friends care about one another and lift each other up; they are people who understand each other. Everyone needs a friend, they make you happy when you see them and are always there for you. If we didn't have friends we would be lonely with no one to share our feelings with and no one to understand us. Friends help make you what you are. You need your friends to show you a different view of the world and to learn new things. We need them to support us and stand by us through hard times. We have friends because together we are stronger then any of us could be apart. 

What makes a "good" friend?

A good friend is someone who is always there for you. Someone who stands up for you and helps you when you need them. A good friend understands you, not the outside of who you are but the inside, they understand how you feel and who you really are underneath everything. They are someone you can laugh with and cry with, and someone you can trust. A good friend will support you and be there at your side when you need them. A good friend is someone who will fight for you because they are the only ones who really know you.  

What is one of your big dreams in life?

One of my big dreams is to make a change in the world. I want to start an organization that will save the starving families and displaced children from war. I want to work to show people the affect we have on the world and what we are doing to our world, our home. I want to inform people that this is all of our problems and that we all need to work together. People do not realize the impact that we are making in the world. People don't know about the people that are dying from starvation and thirst, people who are lost in wars. Some don't realize how we are destroying and polluting our earth.  We are not separated by our countries we are united as a world. I want to unite the world together to save our home. It has always been a dream of mine as I have learned about children lost in wars and people who are dying from starvation and thirst to fix it. I have always been against wars and we should all work together as a world. We all share the same earth and we all need to treat it with respect. I want to be able to join our countries and cultures together to save the people who need us. I know this will be hard because some people wont want to listen so I know there are many things that might go wrong in my future, but I want to try because its worth it.
