Trisha's School Days

Trisha's
School
Days

In first grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
went to the bathroom with you and
held your hand as you walked through the scary halls.

In second grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
helped you stand up to the class bully.

In third grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
shared their lunch with you
when you forgot yours on the bus.

In fourth grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym
so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with [Nasty Nick.]

In fifth grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.

In sixth grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
went up to [Nick] (your new crush,) and asked him to dance with you,
so that if he said no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.

In seventh grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
let you copy their social studies homework from the night before.

In eighth grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
helped you pack up your stuffed animals,
but didn't laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.

In ninth grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
would go to a party thrown by a senior
so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there.

In tenth grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
changed their schedule
so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.

In eleventh grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
gave you rides in their new car,
convinced your mom that you shouldn't be grounded,
consoled you when you broke up with[ Nick]
and found you a date to the prom.

In twelveth grade.....
your idea of a good friend was the person who
helped you clean up the bottles from that party,
helped you sneak out of the house
when you just couldn't deal with your parents,
assured you that now that you and [Nick] were back together,
you could make it through anything.

Finally......
on those last days of childhood,
they went out of their way to give you reassurance
that you would make it in life
as well as you had these past 18 years.

Now......
your idea of a good friend is still the person who
gives you the better of the two choices,
holds your hand when you're scared,
helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you,
thinks of you at times when you are not there,
reminds you of what you have forgotten,
helps you put the past behind you
but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer,
stays with you so that you have confidence,
goes out of their way to make time for you,
helps you clear up your mistakes,
helps you deal with pressure from others,
smiles for you when you are sad,
helps you become a better person,
and most importantly loves you!

Most importantly,
stay close to your friends and family,
for they have helped make you the person that you are today.
