I look at it and picked it up and asked if it was my mothers, when she said it wasnt I asked if I could give it the the people at the desk at the docters. Once I give it the the desk people they said that theyd see if anyone reported a lost cell phone. After we left I felt very happy and also proud.

One day when I was in the 7th grade I went down to the 6th grade wing to Mrs.Nowak's room. When I was there one of the 6th graders was struggling with her math, and was afraid to hold up the class just, because she didn't get it. So I offered to help her, and when she finally got it the smile on her face made me feel like I made a difference for her. I also ganed a new friend, a new person to say goodmorning to. Most of all I ganed someone to share my love for math with, because not very many students who like math, because math is challanging.
