Our Duty

Since it was a combined activity, the destination was set to rather a lenient place. We didn’t to to the mountain, but we went to the park. Before we went, every students were given a plastic nag to put rubbish in on the way to the park. I mentioned that my new partner was very enthusiastic in participating. Well, he was the only one who picked up rubbish for the whole time. I, being his partner, had to stand next o him for the whole time. I described the park as a lenient place, but that’s just when compared to the mountain. The park was indeed enormous, and there was rubbish wherever we went. The worst thing was that the weather was steaming hot. However, my partner kept on picking up rubbish as if this was his duty. No one forced him to do it, and certainly others weren’t doing it. He made me pick up rubbish, and I couldn’t complain about it because he never stopped. He made me realize that we you don’t do it, no one else will. We are not forced to do anything, but once we decide to do it then it becomes our duty. My new partner taught me a valuable lesson.
