My First Friend (written by me in 2nd grade)

I remember
The first day of preschool
My small body shaking with fear
I remember
The first day of preschool
My small body shaking with fear

I took my place at the corner of the rug
Hiding from the world
Shy and scared.

A small girl took her place next to me
As we talked I stopped being scared
All my goose bumps melted into my skin

The girl was Chinese
Unlike me
But we had lots in common

We played together every recess
We talked together everyday
I had made a friend.
