Bullying Grade!!!

When I was in fourth grade at my old school in Scotland. They would grade our work by putting you're score on the top and the over all amount on the bottom. We had just finished our first math test since it was early in the year.I was sitting in class and the teacher had just handed back our quizzes my best friend Jade sat beside me all the time as we had been best friends since we were 2 years old
"I didn't get such a good grade" Jade said in a sad sort of voice.
"What did you get?" I asked.
"6 out of 20"she replied.


I immediately turned round not thinking what I was doing and said well I got 20 out of 20! All of a sudden Jade looked sadder then before. I didn't know what to say so I quickly said that I was going to hand back my quiz and if she wanted I could give back hers as well. A couple of seconds later in a quiet sort of voice she said it is ok. For the rest of the day I had no courage what so ever to talk to Jade so I left her upset for the entire day.




I now know to never tell or ask anyone what they got on a quiz because it can hurt there feelings a lot. Me and jade are still really good friends since she forgave me. So there it is you can bully someone without knowing it!

Discovering My Love For Animals!!!


I was walking outside my local mall when I came upon a little stall with a couple of young adults standing around. Soon I noticed a small cage with six very cute and petit kittens. They were all black with a circle of white around they're right eye. A couple of seconds later I heard a bark coming from behind the stall, there I saw four adorable dogs of all shapes and sizes. The next thing I knew I was round the back of the stall hugging all the dogs! 

The feelings and emotions moved inside of me stirred an overwhelming sense of love and compassion towards these abandoned, unwanted animals. I knew that I had to help out in someway! So I put all my pocket money that I had with me into the donation box but I knew it wasn't enough. So I  decided to do something bigger and better! 

The next day I went into  my mums closet and pulled out and old shoebox of hers. I ran into my room picked up my scissors and cut a little slot on the top for money to go in. I was ready to save some animals lives! I went door to door knocking on peoples houses around the compound asking to make a donation, I got so much! There was this one house that gave me sixty ringitt they really wanted to help out! I surprised myself when I realized what I could achieve in such a short amount of time.
