A New Friend
During recess when I was seven years old, I saw a group of bullies picking on a boy and calling him names. This made me angry, and I approached the scene and told them in a forceful voice, "Back off, and leave him alone! What gives you the right to do that to him?" Upon hearing this, the bullies got scared and ran away. I then asked the boy, "Are you all right?" He replied while gazing at me admiringly, "Yes, I am. Thanks for standing up for me. That was very brave of you." I said, "You're welcome. Those bastards needed to be called off. What's your name, by the way?" He replied, "My name's Zack. I'm actually new here to your school." I said, "I see. I'm Rosie. I've been here since Kindergarten. It's lovely to meet you, Zack." He replied, "It's lovely to meet you, too!" We shared a friendly handshake afterwards. "Are you familiar with the Beatles?" I asked him. "I sure am! I'm a fan of them, too!" Responded Zack. I exclaimed, "Wonderful!" This made him smile, and I knew that we would get along really well. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that Zack was part of my class as well. He even sat beside me when we returned inside the classroom, and did the same while riding the school bus back home. We also had another great conversation during the ride. As I was about to get off, Zack said goodbye, told me that we would see each other again the next day, and blew me a kiss. I smiled at him and blew a kiss in return. When I went back inside the house, my mother asked me, "How was your day at school, Rosie?" I replied, "It was really great! I made a new friend, too. His name is Zack, and he's a Beatles fan as well!" My father replied, "That's amazing! I'm glad you made a new friend today." "I'm glad about that, too." Added my mother. Afterwards, we went out again to eat dinner. Then, I went to bed and slept with a smile on my face.

The First Day of School
The day I started school was quite humorous and enjoyable at the same time. I was the unique one among my classmates because of my fair skin, which resulted in some of them wondering if I was a foreigner. The teacher was also amazed by my intelligence and how I did well in most of the subjects. I was ahead of my parents during the reviews as well. Once, my mother got surprised when she saw me reading the sentences in the English lessons aloud. She said, "Rosie, you already know how to read! I'm so proud of you!" I smiled and winked in return. This made me feel grateful to have the special gift of being a fast learner. I was very friendly to all of my classmates, too. Also, during this time, my fluency in English increased. It truly was a great start for me, and despite getting excellent marks, I remained humble and always thanked my parents and teacher for their help.

Becoming a Beatles Fan
My parents introduced me to the Beatles by the time I was a toddler. The first song that I heard from them was "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You", which remains one of my favorites up to this day. I couldn't help but dance along to the infectious beat. My mother then showed me a photo of the band, and I gazed at their sweet faces admiringly for thirty seconds. Soon, I was listening to their other songs, mostly from the early years. I also watched A Hard Day's Night and Help!, to which I couldn't stop laughing. It was officially the moment I became a huge Beatles fan, and thus, even though I was unaware of it at first, was also the start of an exciting journey that I would never forget as I started school.

Kelly requested me to do this, so here I go. I know things have been rough. You had a rough childhood, and it isn't fair. Of course, nobody ever said that life was fair. No matter how terrible things were and still are, please know that I am your friend. If you ever need to talk, I am only an inbox away.
I admire that despite everything you have been through, you never became bitter. Don't ever change, Kelly. It would be heartbreaking if you did. No matter what anyone says, you are wonderful the way you are.
Even if there are storms, just remember that the sun is shining somewhere. I will help you see the light when it gets dark. I will be a shoulder to cry on. I want you to know that all of your friends you have made here care about you. You can talk to us about anything.
Just remember that lyric from one of my favourite Beatles songs, "Any time at all, all you gotta do is call, and I'll be there."
Peace and love,
-Paul

The Studios were divided into four rooms, which were the lobby, the recording room, the rehearsal room, and the art gallery. The group enjoyed the place as they toured each of the rooms one by one. They also took lots of photos. Afterwards, the foursome and the Beatles left and walked back to the London Beatles Store. George remarked, "That was a veddy fun tour of the Studios that we had. Don't you agree, me mates?" Rosie replied, "It sure was, George!" Ringo said, "Maybe next time, we can do our rehearsals for our next tour there!" John replied, "That's a brilliant idea, Ritchie!" Nicholas and Paul added, "Indeed!" Everyone then laughed and joked together while walking to the store.

The group became even more excited when they finally reached Abbey Road Studios. The building had been restored and preserved to its original glory, and it proudly displays an English Heritage plaque near the door. There was also a sign that said, "Open to the Public", which means that visitors are free to go inside and explore the studios anytime. George commented, "Well, I'm veddy glad that she has remained to be the same studios we've known and loved." Paul replied, "I'm glad about that, too." Ringo added, "We all are, mates." "That's right." Chirped Rosie. John said, "So, shall we go inside, chaps?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Replied everyone in unison. And thus, the foursome's and the Beatles' tour of present-day Abbey Road Studios had begun.
