012most observing is through his compassion empathy and kindness he shows his chords his classmate know a guy at the beginning of the year the only people know Akai wanted to be around now me and his parents if anyone came near him he would quickly tell them bye-bye which meant didn't know what kind of language please leave since I had to be with the rest of the class nookai would come out of the century room to see me sit in my chair when I was lecturing or squeezed my arm for a hug we know if I would come in I noticed Cameron approaching him at my desk he would ask him for a high five or just say hi to him after a couple of weeks instead of knowing I'm telling him Baba and going back
013to the century room he started taking an interest in him soon he would give him high five then the high fives turned into hugs and laughter he would sit with Cameron and Cameron would read a book to him though like I started to become willing to go out to recess with his classmates and then to PE where he and Cameron partnered with each other through activities the friendship that Cameron has shown to know a guy has opened him up to his willingness to have friendships with other classmates as well since we have changed classrooms norkai is now in the same room with us having his area sectioned off to the side if I look up and Cameron's not in his seat working I will look over and he will be sitting at New York Times
