A
The other day I walked along with my friends towards the cafeteria and outside I could see a crowd made up mostly of girls. I couldn’t make out what was happening. We came closer and were able to see that a lady was cutting a girl’s hair. Beside there was a poster which encouraged people to donate about 10 inches of their hair in order to make wigs (假发) for patients who suffered from cancer and had lost all or most of their hair.
I was moved by the courage of those girls who were excitedly waiting their turn to get their hair cut. My friends sensed this and asked me if I was considering donating my hair. I told them I would like to but I was a little anxious about how I would end up looking. But finally, I made up my mind.
I asked one of my friends to braid(编) my hair and the rest of them started cheering me on so I would not back off. We went outside and I was now in line. It was finally my turn so I walked towards the lady; she sat me down on a chair and didn’t even spend 30 seconds cutting my braid. More than half of my hair was put in a bag and I couldn’t hide my joy. I just couldn’t help but think about a person who would be happy with her new image. I knew I would never meet her, but I felt pleased with the act of kindness that I made that day.
