HUGS BUDDY AWARD
For the past three years I choose a student to spend time with. That involves visiting them in their class or lunch time. Checking to see how they are doing, letting them know how awesome they are, encouraging them and being their buddy. Last school year I received and award it was unexpected because I decided to become a HUGS BUDDY for the feeling of helping not receiving. I love doing it and this year the mother asked for me to be her youngest daughter HUGS BUDDY also. I felt honored to know I made a positive impact on her daughters life.
