Jonathan 9/23/2021 I look for big hearts and party. Its important because the kindest people are big hearted. I like to party rock. Partying is important to relax. People like me because i am funny to think about and for video watching. I think my joydew friends are the best because they are fun and here for me. I have friends that help get me working and awake. I help my friends to get motivated to fight for their right to party.

Dov 9 23/2021 Kindness I like when friends tell jokes I like to make friends laugh. Life is full of jokes I love to giggle Friends teach you things.

Chris 9/23/2021 I look for friends that are patient and silly. I like patience because being patient is a virtue. Patience is hard to do but is important. The silly answer is important because they should be funny to make me laugh. The best part of laughing is smiles. I am very fun, quick and really friendly. I see my joydew friends as big driven and just the original. They help me by being there for me when i need it. I help them by being friendly and fun.

Ciara 9/2/2021  I Think of Happy Face with friends. I’m Very Good at Joydew. I’m Upset about Ruin My Masterpiece of Art By Tal Last Week. Anat Told Me to Make Feel Better and Sorry to Tal. And I’m Very Funny with Friend Trey Because I Watched Spongebob & Funny Videos. I’m Very Proud Because I Played Pac-Man Puzzles Every Week. Try to Check If My Friends They’re Okay. I Ask My Friends Questions They’re Fine.
