She was by a trash can looking... frustrated. She threw away a paper and I picked it out of the trash can after she left.... it was a list.

But I wanted to help her do everything on that list. I couldn't help her if I wasn't her friend so that is what I did first." * Amara has a health issue that no other students know about.
