The New Student

By:  Armando Reyes F-9E 

Once there was a kid called John in a school called Meriwether college who didn't have a very easy life since he was a kid he didn't have any friends,he was always bullied,he was always teased but this one day will change his life forever.One day John was walking towards the table he usually sits but then this huge guy goes right In front of him and pushes him to the ground and he laughed together with his friends.John lies there not knowing what to do and just feeling embarrassed to the kids watching him then he says “why does these things always happen to me”.And then a popular student passes by him then john asks for help and then when the popular notices him,he  says this "I'm too popular to pick you up" then he just walks ahead..And then a student who is just like john who has no friends passes by him and he did the same thing ask for help but the student says "If I pick you up people will just tease me more"  then did the same thing the popular student did just walk ahead as if not seeing john there.And then this new student called Matthew passes by and john did not ask for help expecting none but Matthew stops in front of John and says this "Are you alright?Let me help you up".And so the new student helps John up and brings him to a table even with everyone watching in disgust.At the table John looks at Matthew and says "Why are you helping me I'm a loser,aren't you embarrassed?" and the student replied "sometimes it's better doing the right thing even if it gets you embarrassed".And then the next day John was walking towards the lunch table again then the same guy appears the one who was bigger and taller compared to john but this time when the bully was about to push John down he stopped him and told him “how would you feel if you were me wouldn’t you feel miserable if you are then why do you keep doing this to me please just stop I didn’t do anything wrong to you.But still the bully pushed John again and this anger inside John grew and grew until he couldn’t handle it anymore he just wanted to push the guy back,but a suddenly John heard a voice telling him “John don’t do this you know what is the right thing to do “.Then John realized that if he pushed the bully then he would just be a bully too since he is doing the same thing the bully is doing,so what John did was he stood up and just walked away.The bully was shocked at John’s reaction and since then the bully realized the wrong things he has been doing and regretted it so since then the bully never bothered John again.

Reflection: My reflection is that it is better doing the right thing even if it gets you embarrassed because your not only helping a person but you are making me feel better which is a good deed since God has been doing it when he lived.He never stopped helping and curing people even if they are disliked people in the community like sinners.And what you do makes you who you are,so when you always do the right thing people will remember and know you in a good way.And also always remember the right things to do when you are in a situation where you are about to do a right thing.And also don’t be afraid to stand up and defend yourself from people who are hurting you physically and emotionally but don’t defend physically but by making them realize the things they have been doing so they could reflect and change their ways.
