How I helped someone.

You could help people in many ways and people can also help you in many ways. You could help someone without noticing. You might have helped your parents, teachers, brothers,sisters, strangers, ect. I'm going to tell you about a time I helped my teacher and classmates. I helped my teachers & classmates by helping decorate our hallway for a competition during spirit week. I helped make the torches and glue the papers on the wall. When it was time for the judges to walk through they were impressed I could tell by the look on their faces. When it was time to clean up i helped with picking up the trash and getting the glue off the walls. Our team came in first place for the competition. Everyone on our team got to go outside for pizza and to play, we all had a good time. The theme for this is that "Hard work pays off."  

How someone helped me

I have gotten help by people in many ways. I've  gotten help by my teachers, family members, ect. I'm just going to tell you about a time my math teacher helped me pull up my grade in her class. I was in the 6th grade and I was horrible in math because I actually never tried hard. I kept trying and trying until I gave up and said I CAN'T do it so i gave up and that was a big mistake. My math grade started to drop down really low so i began asking for help from my teacher, and family members. I began practicing more longer and started to ask for more help. It helped me out a lot and brought my grade up to a very good grade and I started to make better grades on my quizzes/tests.  I started to get better in my work so I began to help others who were struggling with their work out. I was really proud of myself and I no longer said I can't do this or that without asking for help or TRYING more harder. In all of my classes i was struggling I began doing better at it had had a better grade. The theme for this is to "Never say I CANT without asking for help, or trying harder."
