Sophomore Jeremy Pressman wonders how his friend, Charlie can be so cheerful on a Monday morning. What is our motivation for go- ing to school? Why do we so will- ingly subject ourselves to boring lectures, exams, and homework? One would personally not believe anyone who says that we are moti- vated to learn. The reason we do not mind going to school is friends. We go to school to see them, to talk with them, and have fun with them. When you think about it, friends play an important role in our lives. Most likely, we will remember our high school friends our whole lives. They are the people with whom we spend our time. We eat lunch with them, we skip class with them, and we sit with them in class. Our friends are the ones we call when we get our class sched- ules to see if they are in our class. When high school is over, we will remember these friends for all the Bs “a ‘yr nena spl times, good and bad. What then is a friend? On one level, a friend is someone we can talk to. We tell them when some- thing bad happens, when we fail a test, when a teacher upsets us, or when somebody hurts us. Similar- ly, we can not wait to tell them about the good things. On another level, a friend is someone who is like us. We all tend to hang around with kids that have common interests and abili- ties as ourselves. Whether it be sports, academics, or the arts, some factor holds together all the groups of friends in the high school. Finally, a friend is someone we trust. We tell only our friends about our private worries and hopes. More importantly, we know that the friend will keep our secret and not betray our trust. ‘We friends support each other’ says seniors Stacy Harris, Michelle Puopolo, Marcy Kramer, Susan Dermanuelian, and Jerry Sparks. ao
