(3rd grade) Someone dropped their stuff and started crying, then another person came and helped pick it up. (4th grade) I stood up for my friend when people were blaming things on him. (5th grade) Mom and Dad give me mercy by giving me a home and clothes to keep me warm. (6th grade) When my brother stopped yelling at me and walked around. (7th grade) When my friend dropped her stuff, a complete stranger picked it up for her.
