Delia is a well behaved good girl in class, she listened to the new teacher talk the talk on the first morning admiring her dress and sparkly bangle. She wanted a nice kind teacher this year, not like the cranky one in grade 5, she was mean and yelled. Miss Potts upset kids and made it hard to like school!
When the family moved and she was shifted to new school her mum and dad told her to keep doing her best and making friends. Her mum's extra message was to treat other kids the way she would like to be treated.
Maybe this is why Delia helped new kids, she knew what it was like to not know anyone. She remembered her first day at this school, it was scary. If she could help someone to feel a part of the class and fit in she would. It felt good sticking up for kids . And it made the kid who needed help and a bit of friendship feel good too.
After acting in a little fairytale play put on by her friends for drama the boys nicknamed her princess. It was meant to be a tease but it stuck!
Delia saw it as a compliment because she liked wearing sparkles and kicking butts!
Cheers and Blessings
