One thing that touches my heart is the tenderness with which I was treated by my friends. You expect to be showered with love and affection by your suitors and siblings, but I was always humbled by the overwhelming kindness I received from my girlfriends.

Jessica likes Fresca and the big yellow sun. She's a pretty little lady and the boys like her buns. An infectious smile is planted on her face. It brightens her friends and the whole human race. I love her more than the whole wide world. She also loves me for me, whether my hair is straight or curled.

To this day, whenever I hear the song, "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You," I think of Stacy.
Whenever classes would do that thing where you exchange positive, anonymous notes with each other, I would keep a few of the ones that really struck a chord. What's amazing is that, although these little notes were written to compliment me, I am more impressed by the incredible maturity and eloquence of the young writers of the notes.

A girl in my science class once passed me the old "Do you like me, yes or no?" note. I felt bad having to tell her that I was straight, so no, not that way. At the end of class, she gave me this drawing. I thought it was really nice of her, and I was glad we could still be friends.

Midge is a kind, gentle soul. She always has something supportive to say. I remember she used to wear a scent called "Genuine," and I told Midge that was a perfect label for her.
