I remember it like it was yesterday a friend of mine named Stevie had forgot to do his homework because he had to pick up a late night shift at Subway and it wasn't one of those assignments where you could quickly copy a friend and hoped the teacher wouldn't know the difference. No, this one required time and effort. The time he just didn't have and the effort he just couldn't provide. I had done the assignment along with our other classmates I felt kind of bad for Stevie, he was usually on the ball about these things. Stevie was one of those guys who handled his responsibilities first and then have the rest of the day to himself so you could image how sporadic the situation was when I had found out the bad news. Not to mention the fact that it was all for a good reason but with the strict teacher we had even serious matters like getting into a car accident wouldn't have been a good enough excuse. Plus Stevie wasn't some slack off who would wait til the last minute to do any work and when the time came to turn it in he'd either receive the bad grade with grace or turn nothing in at all with no worries. Stevie was a maudlin guy any little thing could set him off. So it got to me, just enough so that I would do everything in my power to get him a good grade if that means giving him my work then so be it. I had already been ahead in the class so one homework assignment wouldn't damage my grade to bad. So i got up went to the in-euphoric Stevie and relinquished my work to him. Told him to put his name on it and not to ask any questions. I felt pretty good after like a "Robin Hood" or a dissident. A week later Stevie walks up to me and wants to grab lunch. When the check came around I started to pull out my wallet and pay for my food then Stevie reaches out his hand and says I'll subsidize for us ,both of us of knowing the reason for the generosity nothing was ambiguous. "Heroes makes sacrifices and stand tall for others."
