“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” as quoted by Charles Dickens.
Laughter is something that we experience everyday. One very memorable time where laughter was a key part was in my first year at Parks JHS. I was a 7th grader and was enrolled in the orchestra. I played the clarinet along with two other girls, Angela and Julia. I had met Angela in 3rd grade at Golden Hill, but we were never really that close.

She swayed her head back and forth as if she was dancing, trying to catch my attention. I saw her out of the corner of my eye. “What is she doing,” I thought to myself. Suddenly I began to crack a smile, but still continued to play. I tried to copy her dance moves by swinging my head back and forth as well, but I ended up looking like an old turtle. My dancing began to amuse Angela which made her laugh and me as well in humiliation. We tried to concentrate on our music, but it lead to us
