One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “ 36    would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be  37  .”As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,    38   all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 39    and landed in the grass.
My    40    went out to him. So I ran over to him.    41    I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it   42  , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the    43    student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the   44    to prepare a    45     speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was    46  _. So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be    47   !” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to    48    those who helped you make it through those    49    years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best    50    you can give him.”
