Discussion:

I’ve shared plenty of things with my friends and I always feel happy when they accept my offer. There are plenty of times where I think people don’t want to agree to share something because they feel guilty or weird in one form or another. It feels like a bonding experience and makes you closer. Whenever someone offers something to me to share I feel like they see our friendship as close enough to do things with each other. Sharing brings people together, even strangers! I work at a restaurant and there have been plenty of times where strangers have offered and accepted a sample of out giant appetizers. It is heartwarming to see. Things can’t always go as planned. One time, my coworker offered me a book assigned for a class that I was taking that they had already taken. They told me they would bring it in the next time we worked together. It didn’t go as planned because she found out her brother needed the same book and she decided to let him have it. Although I was disappointed that I had to go buy a book last minute, I understood. Her parents had already purchased that book for one kid and it wasn’t necessary for them to buy another. There were no hard feelings and I still appreciate that she was willing to let me use it in the first place!

Dani and Alexis have been best friends since they were four years old.

They lived in the same neighborhood and did everything together!

Alexis was raised by her single mom and Dani by her mom and dad.

"Time for dinner Alexis!"

Dani's parents were always so generous and kind, and that's where she learned it from.
