Since my elementary/grade school life, i have been a very noisy, annoying and moody person, but i was also very friendly, helpful and respectful in a way:) I helped friends alot, and sometimes get in trouble because of them, but one thing was for certain, i had fun. And in times of need, they always seem to be their for me, I have this friend who I treat like a sister already, We have the same interests and almost the same hobbies, the only difference was I was a bit more athletic than her because she has asthma, and she was a person I would ask if I didn't understand the lessons discussed in class. But most of the time, she wouldn't ask for my help even if she needed some. but There was this one time that she needed my help, SHe was almost late for a thesis defense and her group mates where worried. Then to my amazement, all he wanted for me to do was just to set up the projector and the laptop for the presentation. It wasn't really a big deal for me because it was so easy and i'm glad that i could help out. Then after their defense she thank me alot, i mean awhole lot, we had dinner at a restuarant, then we watched a movie and to celebrate the good outcome of the thesis, we partied all night, and to think, It was all her treat, didn't even have to pay for anything, well i guess for the fair going home, but that was it. I told her that she shouldn't have to, but she wanted to do it. Then the next day still recieved messages from her thanking me, and in return I thanked her for a very wonderful time yesterday. :) how bout you guys have similar experiences?

You are a really nice friend i see. Yeah you are right, helping people really are a great thing to do. I used to have a kind friend like you too in the past. He used to helped me alot of time and i'm really grateful for that. I think i'm very lucky to have friend like him. But he already leave to live at other city snd i never seen him ever since. Since then, i also try my best for helping my other friends because i already know how it feels getting help from other. It not for reward or anything but when i do it, it kinda makes me feels happy.

Of course helping is not suppose to be that your expecting something back in return but if they do, it's always good to accept them :) Like what my mom said to me "To refuse and Offer is an Insult to the owner" :) happy mylotting

I love to help people, I believe we all should be there for each other, I have helped a few of my friends but mind you some have taken my help for granted but I just look at it that I did something nice and I have nothing to be ashamed of so I just keep helping people anyway.

we should really help people specially if we are capable of helping. It's ok if people take your help for granted, atleast you offered to help right, and helping others is a good thing and not to be ashamed of :)

Helping friends is definitely something that I enjoy doing. I love helping out my friends, family, anyone that I'm close to. I have a great feeling when I help them out. It's something that I've always done, and will keep on doing.
