        The qualities I value most in friends
      </h4>

      <p>
        When we like the same things and like to play the same games. I love
        friends who have the ability to understand me, and to care for me when I
        need it. On the surface, I am very funny, energetic, optimistic, crazy,
        and sometimes very annoying; but inside I am very sensitive and can
        easily get hurt. People are unpredictable, and I don’t mind that, but I
        still have feelings, and some people can’t seem to understand that. The
        ones who do understand are those I call my true friends. This is the
        quality I look for most in a true friend: to be able to understand and
        care.

        The type of friend I want to be
      </h4>

      <p>
        I want to be a friend who is playful, fun, caring, funny, not too
        annoying, and kind. Most importantly, I want to be a friend who is able
        to understand others, so if they need to share something, they can come
        to me and I can help them solve it. I want to be a friend who is
        trustworthy.

        How my friends have affected the way I deal with life and others
      </h4>

      <p>My friends have helped me realize things about myself, like:</p>

      <ul>
        <li>
          Sometimes, in excitement, I hurt people. Now I understand that I need
          to calm down. This came from Harita and Pushpa.
        </li>
        <li>
          I should never ever give up, because if I do I will tend to give up
          more easily next time. This came from Rahul.
        </li>
      </ul>

      <p>When I am bored, I look forward to playing with my friends.</p>

      <p>
        I am sometimes scared to do the things I must do. But my friends Stella,
        Rahul, and Saral have told me that they shall be there for me, and that
        has made me bold and strong.
