In a tale of love and sacrifices–
What was the Biggest Sacrifice you had to make for someone else?
my aunt separated my family because she hates my mom and i had to choose whether to live with my grandmother and my dad, or my mom; all of my siblings chose my dad because he was less leniant but i chose my mom because i didnt want her to be alone, and i love her.
Well, this isn't much of a sacrifice, but I helped create a recycling program at my high school last year. It had taken several years to start this program, as students and teachers alike have been trying to start this for several years now. Now, we have recycling, we got rid of bottled water in our vending machines, and we changed most of lights to energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs.
well there was this one time i had quite school because my grandfather ended up in the hospital and well to help my grandmother i quite school so i could help her out with him and around the house and now she assured me that she doesnt need my to be around all of the time so im going to start up school again but im still going to help her out even if she says she doesnt need my help.
i used to be one of the popular kids at school and there was a nerdy kid in my class that i thought was cool and i started to talk to her and because she wasn't cool everyone thought i was only talking to her to make fun of her. And one day i saw everyone that was populari in the school making fun of her so i stood up for her and ended up getting yelled at and getting my feelings hurt by people that i thought and kind of felt like were my friends but now becuase i stood up to her and now im glad becasue i got a good friend even though almost everyone hates me but i don't care
I broke up with my boyfriend because I knew that my best friend loved him. It was devastating, because I loved him as well... however, I wanted her to have a chance at pursuing her love. They ended up going out, but I'm still not over him.
when i was 11 i had to decide which parent to live with, knowing i would not be able to see the other ever again. i chose my mom even though at the time her and i were at ends, because i knew she would not be able to go without her only daughter. i gave up my dad, so my mom would'nt suffer.
My biggest sacrifice was when I won a cash prize and then gave it to a family who had nothing,so they could buy the things that they needed.I think they had better use for it than I would.

Cool! Too bad I haven't really made a big sacrifice for anyone so I obviously can't really enter...I think
