What important lesson has the narrator learned? Read the excerpt from "I'm Not Thirteen Yet" by Amy
Bernstein
At this point, I was lying on my back, and my head shot
up when I heard the words "best friend." I squinted and
saw Margaret standing above me. She extended her
hand. She was ready to help me up. She grinned. From
then on, I knew who my best friend was. She didn't
care what age I was, and never would. To this day, we
both have the framed picture of us at the bus stop that
first day of camp.
O Age is an important part of building good
friendships.
O Soccer can be fun, but it can also be very
dangerous
O It's worthwhile to preserve important events in
photographs.
O Fitting in and making friends is much easier than
expected.
