By Francis, MaST Community Charter School Healthy Panther Post | Making connections with others means to me that you talk to people and be nice to them. This year, I made a new friend. I met him at the start of the school year in class. We met by talking in class and working together on stuff. Some things I have done to stay connected with friends were to stay in touch with them, and being helpful and respectful. Some advice I would give to others about making friends based on my own experience is to get more social by joining clubs and interacting with people.
