Read the following passage:
Noelle often would sit by herself at lunch. She was often too shy to go and introduce herself to her classmates. One day, a new boy at school decided to sit next to her.

Later that evening, she decided to ask her mother what to do. Her mother told her that sometimes other students feel the same way and that it couldn’t hurt to try introducing herself.
The next day, Noelle chose to say hello to the boy. It turned out he knew about all sorts of things that she was interested in too!
