| It was the first day of 6th grade and Mike was throwing a fit. He had begged and pleaded with his mom to home school him, but she insisted that he attend school. “The friends you will make in middle school will truly last a lifetime,” she explained. He looked at his waffles that his mother had prepared him and he threw them at the dogs in a fit of rage. He stormed to his room and hurriedly got dressed. He then stomped out the door, pounding his feet mercilessly against the carpet, attempting to show his mother how frustrated he was. |

| It was the last day of high school and Frank was about to graduate. He had been waiting for this day for nearly four years, anticipating grabbing his diploma and finally being free from the miserable bondage of high school. When the school bell rang at 3:20, he jumped around in jubilation, hugging anyone within his sight. On his walk home, his smile was evident from a mile away as he trotted onward for the last time with his chest puffed out and his head held high. |

| Don always thought about the best case scenario. He never dwelled on little problems or what could happen. People were astonished by how he never worried and always assumed that things would work out the right way in the end. By all respects, he was a glass half full person. |
