Hello, everyone. My name is Kim Haram. Let me tell you about one of my experiences that happened on my best friend Minho’s birthday.
It was about six months ago. The school soccer competition was that day, and it was also his birthday. Minho was supposed to play in the game. Our class was scheduled to play a strong opponent. Everyone was very excited about this and seemed to forget about Minho’s birthday. So, he was not very happy about this.
We tried our best in the game, but we still lost. So Minho was very disappointed for two reasons. The first was because we lost the game, and the second was because everyone seemed to forget his birthday.
But then, my friends and I had a surprise in store for him. We pulled out a bunch of party poppers and set them off, filling the air with colorful paper streamers. We shouted, “Happy Birthday!” and my friend was completely taken aback. He was touched by our gesture and felt much better after such a rough day.
Reflecting on this experience, I realized that making someone happy can make everything better. It’s important to put aside our own selfishness and show kindness to others, especially on their special days. If we all take the time to make someone feel special, even in a small way, the world will be a more peaceful and wonderful place.
Thank you for listening to my story.
