Steven succar: Making friends! It isn't an easy thing to do, specially if you're a new student. And why is that? Well to start, a friend is someone who when you feel afraid or depressed or even when you're carrying a big burden your go running to him. He or she is someone who you trust with your deadliest secret, someone that always has a sholder that you can cry on. So if you're asking yourself why's it hard for new students? Well, last year I was a new student at the Deutsche Schule Jounieh. Actually, I was a new citizen to Lebanon. It was very hard for me since the language is different, the school and the students have a completely different mentality. And more importantly I had to start everything from scratch. Now everything worked well and I have good friends and got used to the difference.but it was a difficult task to overcome. So making friends isn't an easy thing to do, but it's not a hard one either. Just be yourself and don't expect to find the perfect person because he isn't out there. And for new students, it's a harder task to accomplish, but isn't an impossble one.
