My first act of chivalry is one that I do not do very often. Last weekend, I was taking the bus to my house. The bus was very populous and every seat was taken. So after 10 minutes an elderly woman stepped on the bus with a lot of bags. When I saw the woman I knew I had to do the right thing and give my seat up for her.

are all here, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.” It was Mr. Bratwartz, the principal’s voice. I said goodbye to my best friend, Jake. He was on bus 6. When I got on bus 5, sat on seat 13, I felt something different and I felt nervous, but I didn't see what it was. "Maybe it's wrong, let me forget it," I whispered to myself.

From the moment I was accepted into this program, I have been in shock. As soon as the plan put down its wheels and I landed in London It hit me we were in London, but not as hard as I thought it would. London at first impression was they drive fast and it was scary when crossing a road because I still do this day do not know which way to look so I look both ways.
