How to Smile<\/h1>\n

a poem by Frissiel Juscamaita (teen)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One teaspoon of friends<\/p>\n

For laughs and support<\/p>\n

Two teaspoons of best friends<\/p>\n

To call to when you need someone to talk to<\/p>\n

Three teaspoons of junk food<\/p>\n

To clear up your stomach when sad<\/p>\n

Four teaspoons of family members<\/p>\n

To always have by your side<\/p>\n

Most importantly<\/p>\n

One entire cup of self-appreciation<\/p>\n

To always remind yourself that<\/p>\n

You’re awesome.<\/p>\n

Smile.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is an unedited work by 15-year-old Frissiel Juscamaita, written during the Teen Writing Workshop on April 5, 2014.<\/p>\n
