The game- I made a lot of mistakes and my teammates were giving me nasty looks. I feel horrible on what happened. "Hey, mister can you help" "Sure" " Thank you, you're so kind" Helping the child made day and reminded me that I shouldn't feel down. The game is not the end of the world.

Being me- I know who I am. I see how good life can be. I'm just being me. The world can be cruel. But that doesn't mean I have to be cruel. Be nice to yourself and just be you.

• It was encouraging the characters to be helpful to others

• People should try their hardest to succeed

• People should be kind to themselves
