Once upon a time, when I was of age 11-12 years old, I met a girl named Alisha. We went to the same school and were in the same class. She was from a lower income family. We became very good friends. Alisha’s parents couldn’t afford everything she needed. My parents knew the situation too, and they told me to help her as much as I could. I provided her with all the school supplies and also with the school uniform. Alisha used to think that her life was not important just because of money. I told her that being rich is not everything, but being a good person means everything, which you are. I told her that you have good values, which is more important. Helping someone is not a bad idea – which can change their whole life.
