I just wanted to say thank you for everyone that came here today. I know Simon wasn’t the nicest or the smartest person still her was always a great kid. I’m Joe Wentworth and I’ll be here to talk about my best friend, Simon Birch. I’m going to talk about some of my favorite memories with Simon.
Ok so the first memory I’ll be talking about today is looking for my father. Simon was always loyal I remember a couple days after my mom died we went and search for my dad and we were convinced that it was the schools gym teacher. So one day after swim meet we stayed late and broke into his office and it turns out we were wrong. I ended up getting mad and breaking a couple of windows and we got in trouble with the cops and everything. I tried to take the blame for him but he wouldn’t let me I was kind of happy he wouldn’t let me take the blame all by myself he cared about me enough to share the blame.
The second memory is going to be about the Christmas pageant. Simon was always mischievous at times. Simon was playing the role of baby Jesus and I he couldn’t control himself and he… grabbed this girl and she fell into the crib with him and after that it was total…show more content… To be completely honest I never really believed him I just thought that it was a way to help cope with his size. Until one day everyone was coming back from this church field trip thing and we weaved out of the way of this deer went tumbling down this mountain into this lake and the bus was quickly filling up with water and I was freaking out all the kids were screaming and looking at me asking and screaming for help. Then Simon got up and assured everyone that he wouldn’t let anything happen to anyone. After that he got everyone off the bus safely at the cost of his own life. He died shortly after that in a hospital. I was so proud of Simon he pushed his appearance and condition aside and he saved everyone on that bus I was so proud of
