Jasmine- Won’t Give Up Honesty
I ran into my teacher while walking to school the next day. She had quite a few folders and bags in her hands. She had difficulty carrying them. ¨Could you help me, Jasmine?” she asked. I obliged willingly and took a few folders from her. I felt cheerful helping out my teacher. I started hopping towards the teacher’s room. As I was hopping right, left and backwards, I ran into a student. All the folders in my arms dropped on the floor. The girl crouched down, gathering all the papers while apologizing. It was I who should have apologized. ¨I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking,” I said. She was very nice, told me it was not a problem and continued on her way.
