Friends
You have only Mom and Dad Two Grandmas and Granddads But there is only one thing you can have over three They are your friends There are people who only know you on the inside People who only know you on the outside

Corey Moore

And a whole bunch of people who know you on both sides
They are you friends There are people you can fight with Or that you can love with Either way you stay together They are your friends
There some people who can great advice Or they can give the worst advice And either way things workout well They are your friends
My friends taught me a great lesson . Always be yourself around anyone . This was a great lesson to me . When I moved to a new school in fifth grade I wasn ’ t really liked at the beginning because I was acting like a total idiot . I thought that would be funny . Turns out it wasn ’ t . Then I started to use my own jokes and I got a few more friends . The lesson sunk in the middle of that year . Now I always act as myself anywhere . I still don ’ t have as many friends because these people already knew me so it didn ’ t go as planned . But it doesn ’ t matter because I have more than I would have if I acted different .
Like I said before , now I have more friends then I would have before . I act like Corey instead of someone else . I have all the qualities of my friends . Comedy , brains , how I look at the world , and imagination . So yes I am very much like my friends while still being me . Now you know is my “ Morrie ”. These are the people who get me through tough spots . The results are always “ interesting ” but they always make sense in the end . So if you need help or advice or if you just want someone to talk to when board try one of your friends . They can be very helpful . Thank you for reading my paragraph and I hope you enjoyed it .
