A Tribute 
to
Leslie Burke
From
Jess Arons

It is very rare that you meet someone who will change 
your life for the better.  This presentation honors 
someone who has done just that and has  made my life 
much more fulfilling…
my best friend Leslie.  

Five words that describe Leslie are…
kind
courageous 
outgoing loyal
imaginative

Leslie taught me many lessons, such as…
1. If you are always afraid you will never enjoy life.
2. Don’t worry what others think about you.
3. Take time to understand people before you judge them.

If I could give Leslie three gifts I would give her…
1. A crown because she will always be a queen. 
2. A television set so she will not be embarrassed in school.
3. A pair of running shoes because she is the fastest runner in the fifth grade.

My favorite memory of Leslie was… 
the look on her face when I gave her Prince Terrien.  She 
seemed so happy.  It made me feel good to know that I got 
her a present that was worthy of her.

If I could spend one more day with Leslie…
 it would be a magical day.  We would wake up early so that we can do a lot.  In the 
morning I would take her to Washington to see some of the beautiful museums that I 
saw.  We would walk around and discuss all of the displays.  I would save up enough 
money so we can eat lunch at the museum.  After our trip to Washington we would go 
to Terabithia with Prince Terrien and  fight off all of the enemies.  I will show Leslie 
how brave I can be. When we got back we would sit in front of the television drinking 
hot chocolate.
