STORIES ABOUT VALUES: FRIENDSHIP

Sofía and Simón entered at eight in the morning to take the natural sciences exam. Sofía had studied all week because one of her biggest dreams was to study medicine and she knew that to achieve it she would have to work twice as hard, even if she were the best student. The group knew that it was not enough, that the students who aspired to university and especially in that career, gave everything to be able to get there. Simón, one of Sofía’s best friends, they had been together since seventh grade, since he had lost him that year, he got together with Sofía and his life changed, she encouraged him all the time to study and many times helped him and even He did his schoolwork. One day, in a talk, the school psychologist said that true friendship was one that supported classmates, listened to them and guided them, but never carried them or did their homework, because that would mean taking away the other’s ability to learn.

That day she She came out very moved and thoughtful. That night she talked to her mother and told her what was bothering her so much. Her mother confirmed what the psychologist had explained to them, so she asked her mother for advice on how to tell Simón never again. She was going to carry him or do his homework without him getting offended, because precisely on the day of the talk Simón was incapacitated, Sofía’s mother told her that she should be very honest and that if he truly valued friendship he would understand her. Sofía had forgotten to talk to Simón because she was so busy studying, and when they came in to take the exam, her friend whispered to her: Sofía, help me, give me the answers, Sofía, I don’t remember anything, Sofía, Sofía, Sofía, take care of me, he told her softly, until the teacher He said silence! They must not speak and if they do I will cancel the exam. When they left the room, Simón approached Sofía and said hey! What a bad friend you are, you didn’t see that she was asking you for help and you didn’t do it, what a bad person you are. Until Sofia, already upset, told him: no, Simón! I am such a good friend that I am making you responsible for your obligations, you know that I am ready for you and to explain to you whatever you need, if you measure your friendship by giving you everything easily then I don’t want to be your friend. Simón looked at her and said, you’re right, Sofía, I’m sorry for treating you so badly, I know you want the best for my life, I promise you that from now on I will make the same effort as you to learn, and they hugged each other.
