We are really good friends.When I'm at home I always do my homework "first." After I'm done I play. The best is playing Dance, Dance Revolution Extreme 2(DDRE2).

I think happiness can mean thrills and excitement like being on a rollercoaster. I also think it can mean to be proud such as when you get an A+ on a test.At school I feel happy some one compliments me, like the time my friends did when I came third place for the turkey trot. I feel good at home when my mom reads to me at night.I make others feel happy when I compliment them, like the time my friend Zach got an A+ on a quiz. I also make others happy when I don't exclude them from games. Once nobody would let my friend Chase play tag. So I stopped and played a different game with Chase. Then we were both happy.Hugh, Franklin Township School Quakertown, New Jersey, USA
