As we begin a new school year you will see old friends and start to make new ones. This video shows that you never know where those friendships will come from. Your best friend may not look like you, dress like you or sound like you. They may not like the same kind of music or have the same interests.
Friendship is a funny thing. As you get older you have more influence and choice over who your friends will be. As an infant your friends were probably dictated by your parents. They had friends who also had kids and so you were friends with those kids. As you entered school you developed friendships with children in the same class or on the same team. As you enter high school you will have more chances to interact with other students in a wider variety of activities.
My challenge to you is to be open minded, to look for friendship. If you have one good friend, you can make it through life's most difficult challenges. Try to make a new friend today!
