This past week, Mr. Brown's students were asked by a fellow student to attend a session of the Friendship Circle and to describe our experiences.
I have been to the Friendship Circle a few times before but I've never gotten the chance to speak with any of the kids. Most of the students who go to Friendship Circle go all the time, so the kids there already know them. However, this time I wanted to make an effort.
My friend Leah introduced me to a girl named Rita. Everyone knows Rita, she is quite a popular member of the Friendship Circle. She is very outgoing and I really hope I get to know her better in the future.
From observing the members at the club, I noticed that all the kids, the special needs students and the students visiting, were all shy at the beginning. But once they get talking they all open up. Although some students did not feel like talking to the visitors, they were not rude about it. They were all very polite and kind.
I think the Friendship Circle is such a great club because it helps not only kids with special needs, but also any kid that just want a friend to talk to.
