Kyle Krawiec - age 18

1. What makes a friend different from an acquaintance? Sex (?)

2. What happens when you and your friend have a fight? Is that person still your friend? How do you try to resolve the conflict? It depends. If I'm fighting with a girl, she gets angry and it takes awhile to resolve. She'll be my friend eventually, it just takes time. If it's with a guy, it's generally not a big deal. I generally ignore all friend problems and let them resolve themselves over time.

What is that person like, and why do you think they are the most popular? I am arrogant and self-centered, yet intelligently funny.

Interview with Mom

I was above average.
A leader, very much always wanting to be in charge.
I definitely enjoyed the art aspect, which there was a lot of.
I was very smart, social, and on the bossy side.
I was always doing something make-believe in nature (newscasts, interpretive dance), or bossing my sisters around. My mom always knew I was going to be a teacher.

(Mom took 10 minutes thinking of a story, and she never came up with one.)

"I know I wrote stuff down a lot...somewhere, I have bits and pieces on information." -Mom

FINALLY THOUGHT OF ONE: When I was 2, I got up and turned the TV on and was watching TV by myself. Then, my aunt called and I told her my parents were at the "hopital," even though they were home. (They had just gotten home the day before with my new baby sister, so I was used to telling people they weren't home).

This is a story I wrote :
"I gust woke up erely in the morning and I got a big sporise...I saw a big birthday sporise! A room full of birthday deckorasans. Bullons, rebens, and lots lots more! Oh thank you mom, thank you dad, I said, I hope all of my friends can come to my birthday. Well Andrea can't come dad said why? I asct. She is out of town dad said. Oh, I said. The first to arive was Kirnin then Brian than all of my friends came. Insapt Mary. Oh mom said, Mary is going to be late! Why? I don't no, mom said."
