I know that I must keep my hands in my pocket all the way to the store so that my $27.35 doesn’t fall out. This is my life savings from doing work around the house for mom and now I get to go to the store to buy something with my own money. The closer I get to the store the more excited I am as I have never bought anything on my own before and this makes me feel more grown up.
As I walked into the store, I noticed that there was a homeless man sitting outside, asking for spare change. I had seen him before, but this time, something inside me told me that I should do something to help. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I could spare any of my hard-earned money, but then I remembered how much this $27.35 had meant to me and decided to share my wealth. I walked over to the man and handed him a few dollars, feeling a sense of empathy and kindness that I had never felt before.
As I walked back into the store, I realized that buying things for myself was no longer as important as helping others in need. I knew that this was just the beginning of my journey into compassion and generosity, and that there were many more opportunities for me to make a positive impact on the world.

As I walked into the store, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten my list of things to buy. I panicked for a moment, wondering what I should do, but then I remembered that I had been dreaming of this moment for a long time and decided to improvise. I wandered around the store, taking in all the sights and sounds, and letting my instincts guide me. I ended up buying a pack of gum, a small toy dinosaur, and a bag of chips. It wasn’t exactly what I had planned to buy, but it felt like a victory nonetheless.
As I walked out of the store, I felt a sense of freedom and spontaneity that I had never experienced before. I knew that this was just the beginning of my journey into adulthood, and that there were many more surprises and challenges ahead.
