I would like to talk about a heartwarming memory that I have from my childhood. Actually one day my close friend and I, with whom I used to have a close connection and something phenomenal, decided to buy some ice cream. So we went to our houses and our mothers gave us some cash because credit cards weren’t that much widespread back in the day. So as we wanted to just do it together and we were headed to the shop that all of a sudden his money must have slipped out of his pocket. And when we arrived at the store he found out that he had lost his money through his way there. And he felt embarrassed and shamed. And he was so sad that he started to cry out loud and I felt heartbroken because I was really sensitive back in the day. I couldn’t even imagine how would I react if I were him. So rather than being mean I tried to buy two ice creams and I shared my ice cream with him so that he feel happy and joyfulness and joy. I could see his eyes were sparkling and this meant a lot to me. To put it into words that was the first time I learned the concept of dedication and showing some respect for your friends in case of an emergency. That was a completely simple situation but I mean we can be really sometimes kind and generous to each other. That was a simple ice cream but I never forget that.

I would like to talk about a heartwarming memory that I have from my childhood. One day, my close friend and I, with whom I had a strong connection, decided to buy some ice cream. We went to our houses, and our mothers gave us some cash because credit cards weren't that widespread back in the day. As we were headed to the shop, all of a sudden, his money must have slipped out of his pocket. When we arrived at the store, he found out that he had lost his money on the way there. He felt embarrassed and ashamed, and he was so sad that he started to cry. I felt heartbroken because I was really sensitive back then. I couldn't even imagine how I would react if I were him. Rather than being mean, I decided to buy two ice creams and shared mine with him so that he would feel happy. I could see his eyes sparkling, and this meant a lot to me. To put it into words, that was the first time I learned the concept of dedication and showing respect for your friends in case of an emergency. It was a simple situation, but we can be kind and generous to each other. It was just ice cream, but I will never forget that moment.
