Backgroung Information:
Mrs. R is a student counselor at a highschool. She came to present to us what she thought love is. Mrs. R is newly married and has a two year old daughter.

Summary/Synopsis:
According to Mrs.R "love is when you feel special and important to someone" (R). Also, before you could love someone you have to "be happy with yourself" or "truly, love yourself" (R). In addition the other person should love you for who you are and "not changing yourself" (R) for the person that you like. Not only that but your love should "stick around you no matter the situation" (R) as is when the going gets rough they will always be by your side. Love also is when "you do things for each other that you know the other person will like" (R). Futhernore, Mrs. R believes that to love someone you should know your partner for some time and be "best friend" (R) with them too. Another thing is that you have to "respect each other" (R) to be able to love each other. Last but not least, is that you should "uncontrollably love" (R) each other. And that is Mrs. R's thoughts on what love is.
