Thankful (for a classmate)

At the end of seventh grade orientation, I was left with a problem. I don't have a locker partner. I freaked out because I was scared that everyone else in my division already found their partner and I would be left with a stranger. That was when I approached Sandy Wu and asked her which division she was in. I was overjoyed when I found out she was also in 621 and we started to get to know each other. We clicked on video games, such as Maple Story, and somehow our parents knew each other. It was the start of a great friendship that still lasts to this day. Sadly, we didn't talk much during our first year at Whitney. We had two classes together but it wasn't until towards the end of 7th grade that we started to talk. Over these last four years, I've gotten to know so much about her. She has gotten me into AMV-ing, video editing, and baking. She is always there for me even if she doesn't know what to say or do, even if it is really awkward, and I mean really awkward. Most of the times she is careless. Sometimes too careless. Regardless, she always manages to make people smile. It is something that I envy of hers, but I am glad to call her my friend. I am thankful for these past four years and, hopefully, the many years to come.
