Have you even been in a situation where being too kind ends up betraying you? Well, all my life, my mom has taught me to help others anywhere, everywhere, and at any time. Throughout my life, this has become more present because I have learned that helping others makes me really happy because I enjoy seeing others happy. However, I have also learned that by being too kind and exposing myself too much, my actions have consequences. Since I arrived at Brookes Westshore, I have placed helping others as my priority, and it has come incredibly well. Ive become a great and helpful person; however, recently I got in trouble with a school work. Some friends needed my help in a class, so with all their trust, they came to me, and of course I helped them. They did not understand a single question, so I gave them my response and also explained it to them for them to at least understand the question and be ready for the test. I at first did not understand the question either, so I used Google, which I consider a great friend because it makes things way clearer when the topic is too hard or when you don’t completely understand your teacher. After giving them my response, I felt like a good friend because I knew they would do amazing with my help. However, I got into trouble for sharing my responses and using Google, which, even though I understand the point of view of the teacher, maybe understanding the situation and having compassion for their students could have been a better response than immediately placing me at 0 with no way of fixing it. Finally, I have understood that maybe some teachers understand kindness in school to a certain level when others do not, and that’s totally acceptable.
