When I was 11, I was innocent because I thought smoking was cool.
Then, I experienced shortness of breath at my football game.
This helped me to become compassionate because I realize I will let my team down if I got caught smoking.

When I was eight, I was innocent because I thought I just had to worry about myself.
Then, I experienced some bad family stuff,
This helped me to become compassionate because I realized that I am responsible for taking care of my big sister, Ema.
