I have helped a lot of strangers in my life. I was on a train when this happened, and there was an old man. I was sad and upset because I had a situation at home. I had argued with my brother, but I wasn't thinking about it. An old man came and said, "Hey, you little boy, get up and let me sit there." I said, "Why are you talking this way? You are rude. I'm not a couch potato, and you shouldn't be." I added, "You are older than me, so I should be careful for you and give my seat to you." The stranger needed help sitting; he wanted to sit down, and he expected me to stand up. I actually didn't prefer to sit down and not give him a place, but I sat there because I was a bit angry with him for speaking to me in a bad way. However, I decided to help him. I stood up and said, "I am struggling with different things; I argued with my family. But I am giving you my seat because you are older than me, and I respect you." I felt a bit confident because I was strong-minded and upset.
