School, work, and sports can be very stressful and overwhelming. Having someone who can be there for you and make you happy is essential. In honor of Valentine’s Day, it is important to make these amazing people feel special and let them know they are appreciated for all they do. This has been a recurring article in The Kilt for two years now and is part three of asking Hazen students “Who in your life is able to put a smile on your faces without fail?”
“My younger sister Emery makes me happy in my life because she’s almost like a built-in best friend, who’s just a door away, and she is pretty funny and makes me laugh a lot.” Lane Noerenberg (11)
“The person who makes me the happiest is actually my dance team. We all are truly family and it is a place where you can truly let everything go and breathe when things get hard and that’s all the love I need.” Mia Carbo (12)
“SZA makes me happy because she made ctrl” Aubrey Manikhoth (12)
“The people who make me happy are my friends at school because they are the reason I want to come to school, and I love talking to them and making memories with them.” Angelica Nguyen (11)

“The people who make me happy are my friends because we can always talk and have a fun time together.” Maddy Pham (10)

“Adam Sandler makes me happy because I love his movies, and he is a great person. I love his daughters too. Mark Wahlberg also makes me happy because I love his movies too and he is also just a nice guy.” Ismael Javier (9)
“My friends and family make me happy because they always make me feel supported and understood, and I can always go to them with anything.” Grace Harkins (12)
“The person who makes me happy is definitely my best friend Grace. She has always been there for me, and I know if I ever need someone to talk to, she will listen. I’m always laughing when I’m with her, and I am so grateful to say she is my best friend. She makes me happy by just being herself and always brightening my mood.” Izzy Jay (12)
“I would say that my brother EJ is the one that makes me happy. He motivates me to do many things and is always there for me when times are tough. He’s like another version of me, and we always find a way to bond together. Having a brother makes me happy, and I wouldn’t take him for granted.” Joshua Jimenez (9)
“Someone who makes me really happy is my little brother Joshua Jimenez. He’s been my day one even though he is probably copying my answer.” Ethan Jimenez (12)
“My brother is someone who makes me happy. He is one of the funniest and smartest people I know. His kindness is something I think about and work towards daily.” Katie Tribble (10)

“Morgan is someone who makes me happy as she is always there for me, and wherever I am with her, I have the best time. My family also makes me very happy as they are super supportive and kind.” Mabel Egan (10)
“My best friend because she’s always there for me and stuck with me through elementary and middle school.” Yvonne Nguyen (9)
“My best friend Lena makes me the happiest. Even though I see her once every 3 months, we talk over the phone often, and I know I can trust her with anything that I tell her.” Ivy Nguyen (11)
All of these students have different people who make them happy and are able to put a smile on their faces, whether it’s family, friends, or even actors. If you are reading this, we hope you have somebody that can make you smile. Make sure to let them know just how special they are and how much you appreciate them and all they do.
