Being a middle school student, I am always taught to be helpful. So offering a hand is my first choice when I meet people in need.
I still remember it was a cold morning when I was on duty. I had to go to school early to clean the classroom. When I get to the school, I found an old man cleaning up the school

yard. The weather was really cold and he was shivering. But there were still a lot of wastes on the ground. Without thinking twice, I tried my best to help him pick them up. Half an hour
later, the ground became very clean and the old men gave me a smile.
As the saying goes, roses given, fragrance in hand. To make the world more beautiful, let’s help each other.
