As we all know, getting benched(°åµÊ) in sports is usually a bad thing. But at one school in Florida, a girl has taken a bench and turned it into something entirely different ¨C a place to find friends. It¡¯s called the Friendship Bench. And it¡¯s the brainchild of a sixth grader at Palm Bay Elementary ¨C a girl named Acacia Woodley.
Acacia¡¯s attitude toward life might be summed up best by a question she recently asked members of the Brevard County School Board ¨C ¡°what if we spend as much time putting the spotlight on kindness as we do on cruelty?¡± It¡¯s a truth Acacias has learned to live her own life ¨Cin spite of having a lot of people would consider a handicap (²Ð¼²). She was born without a right hand. And her left hand did not form properly. But Acacia says that she has not stopped her from achieving her goals. ¡°You need to believe in your dreams. If you don¡¯t believe in you dreams, I can definitely tell you that they are not going to come true.¡± She said.
Acacia came up with the idea for the Friendship Bench after seeing kids getting bullied (ÆÛÁè) at school. She says she has also experienced bullying herself ¨C kids whispering about her or picking on her because she is different. ¡°Some people say they feel sorry for me. I tell them not to,¡± she said. ¡°I don¡¯t care that I¡¯m different. I like being different.¡±
The Friendship Bench looks like a lot of other benches. It has arm sets and a place to lean on. But there are also words painted on it ¨C words such as ¡°hope¡±, ¡°respect¡±, ¡°listen¡± and ¡°dream¡±. Acacia put the benches together with the help from her mother and brother.
Any time a kid feels he or she needs a friend, all that kid needs to do is sit on the bench. It is then up to the other kids ¨C or grown-ups ¨C to fill that need. ¡°It¡¯s a perfect idea,¡± Palm Bay Elementary Principal Lori said. ¡°It¡¯s something we¡¯ve needed so badly.¡±
The Friendship Bench has been such a success at Palm Bay Elementary that other schools are now interested in installing£¨°²×°£© one too. ¡°There¡¯s a saying in my teacher¡¯s classroom,¡± Acacia said. ¡°It says, ¡®it you can dream it, you can achieve it.¡¯¡±
