Have you ever missed hearing your teacher’s instructions on an assignment? It’s fairly common, and you may have asked another student what the teacher said. Unfortunately, many students are too worried about their own grades to bother to help their classmates. However, there are also some altruistic (see definition below) students who will sacrifice their own time to tell you what you missed. Altruistic people care more about the well-being of others and focus less on themselves. –Will Bildsten
Speak your mind: When is the last time that you performed an altruistic act?
Altruistic: Unselfish
