One day, we were told that we would have a school trip at the end of the month. The whole class got very excited and the girls began to discuss what to wear and what to bring with them. But Danny simply told everyone he wouldn’t go.

“Don’t you like it, Danny?” our teacher Mr. Smith asked with kindness.

Danny stood up and said, “It’s too much money for me. My dad is ill in bed. My mom works in a supermarket every day. I will not ask them for money.”

“I’m very proud of you that you can understand your parents. Not every student of your age can think about this,” Mr Smith replied.

Then Mr. Smith asked us to come up with some good ideas to raise money for the trip by ourselves. We all thought it was really meaningful, and it would be a different and valuable learning experience for everyone.

That day, we knew Danny more than before, because he was not only honest but also brave. He won the respect of all of us.
