  2. The video was very beautiful and touching. I really liked the quotes included in the video. When I help someone I feel good and happy. I feel that I am helpful to even one person and that makes all the difference in the world for me. I feel that the best way to improve the world is to spread knowledge to all others who need it.

  3. Likewise, I loving helping people. That is the reason I went back to school to become a teacher. I felt there was a need to help young people become successful adults. To know that a student is learning and making a difference in the world means a great deal to me. That is a HUGE thank you! I love your insight and positive message Tharushi :)

  4. I agree with you, Ms. West. I think that a teacher is the best example of an unselfish person who helps many people. In fact, I have found a poem about teachers online. ( Below )

    Teachers

    Teachers are dedicated,
    to our education.
    This is their passion,
    and our liberation.

    Their sincere kindness,
    warm feelings, it brings.
    They guide and protect us,
    under their wings.

    They show us patience,
    and readily spread.
    Their helpful advice,
    fills us like bread.

    They don't just instruct,
    but encourage and believe,
    That there's nothing out there,
    we cannot achieve.

    They think about,
    our future all the time.
    Work tirelessly to direct us,
    away from conflicts and crime.

    At the end of the day,
    teachers do understand.
    It takes both tools and love,
    For our young minds to expand.

    Also, I specially liked the quote " To the world you may be jut one person, but to one person you may be the world " I think that small quote has just demonstrated what a true friend really does for another person. If a person has many troubles at home such as arguing parents, or a sudden tragedy such as the loss of a loved one, talking to a friend that listens to them can make a huge difference for them.It can really comfort them to know that they are not alone in the world. It is a truly beautiful feeling to know that you are the only hope in a person's life. And if you ever know that, try to be a good friend, and a good friend is not just one that shares laughs. The truest friends in the world share love in the darkest times of their friend's lives. In the video above, the turtle saved his friend's life, so by showing love and compassion, he has just saved a life, a life that is so valuable that no price can nor should be put on it. You don't know if you are the only person left for someone else in the world,you may never know what you are in another person's life. As Maya Angelo states, try to " Be the rainbow in someone else's cloud." Just remember, you have the power to change someone else's life, just by showing a little compassion and love, you can do something that is worth more than all the gold in the universe. We can stop crime and bullying by just being friends with everyone. Maybe, all those people need is just a little friend to light up their worlds. Together, by spreading friendship and hope, we can ensure a peaceful and very beautiful world for everyone.

    1. For me, a true friend will never, ever leave you no matter what happens! It’s not important whether they are miles apart from you, as a true friend will always have you in their heart forever. So distance should really not matter.

      A true friend will always believe in you even though you no longer believe in yourself. They will always bring out the best in you.

      A true friend is like your other self. They will be your best and worst critic as they will always tell you the truth, though they knows it will sometimes hurt you. At least they are always honest.

      A true friend will not need any explanation as they will always understand.

      And most of all, a true friend is someone who is willing to share their TIME with you. Time shared together has always been important for me, as time is something no one can ever buy nor take back. The moment a person shared their time with you, they had already shared a part of their life with you.

  7. I agree with you Ms. West. Friends help each other no matter what. When you said that friends share time, I really thought about the concept. I finally understood that even a minute of a person's life is a part of their whole life. When someone shares even a small moment of their time, technically, they are sharing part of their life with you. I now also believe that this is a very essential part of a friend.
