Think about an early experience you had of empathy, a moment or situation where you really understood what someone else was feeling. Perhaps, a classmate was bullied or was the last to be picked for a softball team. Or perhaps, you felt sad for a classmate who couldn’t describe a great vacation or local adventure on the first day of a school year because her parents didn’t have much money. Write a couple paragraphs on her experience. Think about the role of empathy in your life, how it may impact your relationship with appreciation.
