DRAFT I think that friends are very important. Before I consider someone to be my friend, I look for three things. I look for someone who is kind, fun to be around, and dependable. It is important to be kind because I want all of my friends to get along with each other. Also, if I am kind to them, I expect them to be kind back. I don’t want to have any mean friends. Next, I think it is important for friends to be fun to be around. I wouldn’t want to hang out with someone who is boring! Additionally, I think a friend should be dependable. I want to know that I can count on my friend whenever they need me because they can count on me. I can’t wait to make lots of new friends this year!
