Prompt
As much as humans like to control their own lives, there are many aspects that are outside of our control. For
example, we do not choose the families into which we are born or the places where we grow up. The same is
sometimes true of friendships. Some friends we choose because we identify them as people who are similar to us
and because they offer us something we want Occasionally, however, we make unexpected friends. For
example, a young person bumps into someone at the library who is crying because she has lost an important
paper she was writing for school. As a result, the two become friends and learn that helping people through tough
times is at the core of strong relationships.
Assignment

something
