Placid

When my family friend told a story about what happened to one of his patients he was very placid. Even though the story was scary he still spoke very calmly.

Empathy

Phobia

My friend has had a phobia of roller coasters, until I convinced her to go down this really high and steep slide at the water park, in the resort we were staying at in Puerto Rico over spring Break.  Now she can go on roller coasters and she does not have as big of a phobia of them anymore.

Bibliophile

My mom is a huge bibliophile and keeps trying to get me to be one. I have never really liked reading books, but my mom loves to and brings her kindle everywhere she goes just in case she has time to read.

Amity

The amity between my friend Kathryn, and me has lasted since kindergarten here at HIES.
