When I was 13 years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile. It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone. Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn’t want my parents to worry about me. Then one day, my classmates were talking with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I didn’t know who she was, she passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled. Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.

That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue. One day, I asked her why she smiled at me, she said she could not remember!

Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.
