The valuable educational experience

I used to be a selfish person. I’m the only child in my family, and my parents treated me
like a princess. I always expected people be nice to me. In school, when I had a question, I would
ask and expect them to tell me the answers. However, when they had questions, I would not tell them my answers. That’s because I didn’t wantm them to get the same grade as I did. My friends wanted me to change, but I didn’t think I had a problem until one day I went shopping with my friend. Her name is Ling, and she is the nicest person I had ever met. When we walked down the
bridge, I felt like somebody was following us and it turned out to be a thief. He approached us and used a knife to ask for money. I left her and ran, and then hid. She knew where I was hiding and when the thief asked her, “ Where’s your friend? I saw her left and ran by herself, do you really still think she is a good friend?” I cried when I heard what the thief said. At last, she didn’t tell the thief where I was. Since then, I have changed gradually. I have learned how to treat people after that incident.
