Dear Abby,
Hey, I’m going through a really tough time right now, and I could use some advice. I recently returned from Uganda and I can not find friends who I can call my brothers. Can you help me? Do you know the way?
Dear Student,
When moving to a new place, it’s always hard at first to meet new people. When I moved here, it took me a while to navigate a new school and to make new friends, but once you find people you relate to and get along with, it gets so much better. The best thing to do in this situation is to try to find a group you feel comfortable with. It’s often easier to connect with people who have similar interests. There are many different clubs at our school. Read through this list and see if any of them interest you:
Art Club meets Wednesdays in Room 14
