Polina Learns to Make Friends
Polina, a nervous but brave girl, moves to a new school. She faces the challenge of making new friends, feeling daunted by the unfamiliar faces and her own shyness. With courage and the simple advice from her mom, Polina embarks on a heartwarming journey to overcome her fears and find friendship.
Polina had just moved to a new school in America, and she was feeling very nervous. She looked around at all the faces she didn't know. It was her first day, and she really wanted to make friends. But how? Her mom always said, "Just say hi, Polina." But it seemed so hard to do!
Polina decided she would try to say hi during lunchtime. But when she reached the cafeteria, it was full of kids laughing and talking in groups. She felt like everyone already had a friend except her. She stood by the entrance, her heart pounding. - I can't do it, Polina whispered to herself.
The next day, Polina thought she'd try again during recess. She saw a group of kids playing tag, and she wanted to join. But just as she was about to say something, another kid accidentally bumped into her, making her drop her glasses. - Sorry, someone said, but Polina was too embarrassed to respond.
Polina felt like giving up. Maybe she would never make friends here. She sat alone on a bench, watching the other kids play. - Maybe I should just wait until someone talks to me, she thought sadly. Her eyes were starting to feel watery. She missed her old school and friends.
Just then, a kind teacher named Mr. Oliver sat next to her. - What's wrong, Polina? he asked gently. Polina told him about her worries. Mr. Oliver smiled and said, - Just remember what your mom said and be brave. You never know who might be waiting for a friend like you. His words made Polina feel a little braver.
The next day, Polina took a deep breath and walked up to a girl coloring under a tree. - Hi, I'm Polina, she said with a smile. The girl looked up and smiled back. - Hi, I'm Mia, want to color with me? Polina's heart soared. She had made her first friend!
