Believe it or not, my friends often come first in my heart because I want to make them happy. If anyone asks me for help, I always say "Yes!" "Can you help me with English practice " Grace asked me on the first day after she became my deskmate. "Of course," I replied without hesitation. Grace has been working really hard on her studies and she needed my help though I didn't have much time left for her.
One day after school, while I was doing lots of homework, Grace's phone call came. She complained(抱怨) a lot and it made me feel bored, but I still felt bad about saying no. When Grace ended the call, it was 00:15 a. m. But I still had homework left and I wanted to sleep. This was bad for a junior high school student in Grade Three who is going to take an important exam this June.
Finally I began to cry. I felt so tired and realized that the stress had an effect on my health. I tried to get myself out. Studying is more important than other things, so Grace has to come the second. It's now important for me to say no, no, no.
"Can you give me a hand " Grace asked. "Sorry… I just have to review my chemistry notes," I answered. "All right, it's up to you," she said. I felt completely relaxed when I heard her reply. Anyway, it's not so hard to say no at all.
To be honest, I have felt much happier since learning to refuse. I have more time to spend on my study at present. I still try my best to help others, but sometimes I say no because I know everyone has a limit.
