 DARING IS FINE
Amanda is new to the neighborhood, she almost always moves to another city so
she has a hard time making friends easily. She is very shy, but she would like to change
that. When she got to the new neighborhood Amanda decided to go for a walk with
her pet, while she was walking she saw a group of girls doing exercise and suddenly
she thought of going over and saying hello, when she did they were very nice to
Amanda and even to Tobby too, her pet.

A few days later Amanda went to her new school for the first time and she was
surprised because the girls from the park also studied there so she wouldn't be with
just strangers during the school year. After meeting several classes, Amanda was
invited to spend recess with the girls from the neighborhood. While they talked about
various topics, they all realized that they got along very well and that Amanda could
be a very good friend.

Raquel, Elli and Sophi wanted to give Amanda a nice welcome so they decided to
organize a party, where she would be the special guest. Amanda agreed and was
very happy but a few minutes later she got very nervous and she thought that not
going to the party was a better idea.

When Amanda got home she told her parents about the party, they thought it was
a great opportunity to socialize and make new friends so they encouraged Amanda,
who after a while decided to stop being shy and attend the party.

The day of the celebration arrived and Amanda was very excited, her new friends
made it an unforgettable event, they danced, sang and had a lot of fun. After the
party, Amanda felt very pleased with herself, because she was able to leave shyness
behind and dared to live a beautiful moment.

The following week after the party they all

decided to go for a walk, where Amanda
became even more confident with her
friends and from there they are
inseparable.
