Everyday people do many things for us to make us feel better and happier, but sometimes we forget that others also need from us. Making sacrifices reminds us that we have to be grateful and to value what we have and share it with others. I decided to visit a retirement home because I think that old people feel lonely and need to share time with others. I spent a morning with them. We played, they enjoyed food, and I visited the rooms of those who were ill and could not move. They were happy and grateful. I also felt happy to help them because I saw their smile: it was so contagious that I too was smiling! It was a good time. Making sacrifices reminds us of the needs of others, and helping them makes us feel proud and better. We should behave with others in the same way we expect others to behave with us.
