I believe that I should help people in need as much as I can.
When I provide assistance - even it is just a tiny one- , I really feel peace of mind. I still remember a specific experience that I could not give a hand at that time. The story happened when I was seven years old; in my first year in elementary school. There was a girl that was bullied by a group of girls from another class. I empathized with her. I wanted to help her, but I was afraid of that bullying girls too. I used to see her tears felled down over and over, so I always felt guilty toward her because I do not know why I felt that I could help her and stop those girls. When I grow up, I realized that I should not to blame those girls because they were just children; Actually, I think if I would blame anyone, I should blame our teachers. Now, when I think what I could do to help her at that time, I wish that I went to a teacher or to the principal to tell them about what that poor girl was facing. So, I try to help people as I can. I learned that I should not be silent when I see someone suffer; just do what I can do. If I could help, that would be amazing and that what I wanted, but if I could not, at least I
tried.
