For my school essay on how to be a good friend, I decided to write about my best friend, April Keymon. I don’t get to see April as much anymore since she moved but she is still my best friend. That’s because she always supports me. Sometimes I can be a bit shy, and I can always count on April to stand up for me because she is not afraid of anything! She always has a positive attitude and encourages me to try new things without being too pushy. That gives me courage even when I am feeling nervous.
April and I always share with each other. We love buying candy from the W Shop but if I forget my KinzCash, April always gives me half her candy. I don’t even have to ask!
I also like the way April always listens to me when I need someone to talk to. I know maybe she doesn’t completely understand what it’s like to feel shy and scared – she is the bravest Webkinz I know! – but she will still let me talk about my fears without making fun of me.
April never lies to me – even when she has bad news, like the time she told me she was moving. She is also not afraid to say she’s sorry when she has made a mistake. I think that’s brave too and that’s one way I am trying to be more like April.
I think that one of the things I like best about April is that she is so different than me. She is loud and funny and brave – all the things I am not! We might not always agree on everything, but we always try to understand each other’s point of view and when we disagree, we try to find a solution that works for both of us. That’s called ‘compromise.’
There are so many reasons that April is a good friend, but the very best thing about April is that she always makes me laugh!
I wish my some of my friends are like April. They always find everything so hilarious, even when I need to talk about something serious to them. I don’t think I could ever have a serious talk with them because they can’t take anything seriously, it’s all a joke to them.
