21. The Joy of Helping Others
Last term, I helped an elderly neighbor, Mr. Li, who lives alone. One rainy day, I noticed he was struggling to carry groceries home. I ran over to offer my help at once. I carried his bags and walked him safely to his door. Mr. Li was very grateful, and his smile made me feel warm. This experience taught me that helping others is not difficult. Even small acts of kindness can bring great joy to both the giver and the receiver. Helping others is a beautiful virtue that makes the world a better place.
