Story 2

The story we listened to this time was about what  most matters to a group of teenagers.  Most of them said what you might think, being popular, good looking, being in a relationship, winning. All things you might think a teenager would say. However, there was one girl who said that kindness mattered to who. Which is good, the world could use some more kindness. Everyone who listened to this story, including me, could take something away from this. When we think about what really matters to us, think about it hard, and ask yourself, what makes you happier? For me, personally, I've always tried to be nice to people, because sometimes, people can just be complete jerks for absolutely no reason. So can't that be a two way street? Can't you be nice for absolutely no reason? 

The passage is significant to me because it shows that compassion can be in anyone. Even a group of rowdy teenagers. My group of friends is a great example of this, and I'm not afraid to gloat about them because what I'm saying is true. My friends are all great, respectful, and deeply compassionate people, and I'm proud to call them my friends. They mean everything to me, because they make the journey through life so much easier.
