Choosing The Right Choice

Middle School Student, Framingham,MA

Once when I was younger I found 10 bucks at the side walk. Then I saw a little girl crying because she lost 10 bucks. I was thinking about giving the money back, but I didn't. Her mother was realy rude and tought the little girl's older brother took it away, she said that when they get home she would check the boy's stuff. I was wearing my public school uniform and they were from a private school. My brother and my cousin told me to give the money back, but I didn't want her mother to call me a thief, so I kept the money to myself. I felt sorry for the little girl but last year I did the right thing. I found 2 bucks at the cafeteria, but intead of keeping the money to myself, I gave it to an adult, so he could find who lost the money,
