My daughter Emma is in Grade 7. In her class, there is a boy called Jack. He is quite overweight, so he is always made fun of.
For several nights Emma came home from school, feeling upset about that. She also said that Jack had no school things because his family couldn’t afford them. She said she wanted to help him. So the next day Emma asked Jack to make a list for her. She would bring the school things that she had at home for him. Jack was very thankful（ 感激 ） and made a small list : erasers, pens and pencils.
That evening Emma and I went to the shop and we bought everything on his list. Emma also said that Jack needed a new pencil- box. When we got home, we put all the supplies into a new backpack(背包) because Jack didn’t have one. Emma wrote a little note saying “Hope you have everything you need and enjoy the supplies” and put it in the backpack.
The next day, I asked the school headmaster to give the backpack to Jack. After Jack read the little note, he thanked Emma many times and said he loved everything. Later that day when I picked up （ 接 ） Emma after school, she was all smiles. As for Jack, I saw him walking home with his new backpack. It was a good feeling to know we had made a difference in his life.
