الْفُسْحَةِ، رَأَيْتُ رَامِي يَحْمِلُ كُتُبًا كَثِيرَةً، فَأَسْرَعْتُ أُسَاعِدُهُ دُونَ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ، نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ مُبْتَسِمًا وَقَالَ: لَمْ أَتَوَقَّعْ أَنْ تُسَاعِدَنِي، شُكْرًا يَا يُوسُفُ.

During recess, I saw Rami carrying a stack of books and hurried to help him. Without saying a word, he looked at me, smiled, and said, "I didn't expect you to help me. Thanks, Yusuf."

تِلْكَ الْجُمْلَةُ الصَّغِيرَةُ جَعَلَتْنِي أَشْعُرُ بِدِفْءٍ غَرِيبٍ، وَكَأَنَّنِي أَسْتَعِيدُ صُورَتِي الْحَقِيقِيَّةَ الَّتِي افْتَقَدْتُهَا.

Those few words filled me with a strange warmth, as if I were reclaiming the person I used to be.

فِي الْأَيَّامِ التَّالِيَةِ، بَدَأْتُ أَصْغِي أَكْثَرَ، وَأَبْتَعِدُ عَنِ السُّخْرِيَةِ، وَأُشَجِّعُ زُمَلَائِي فِي أَنْشِطَتِهِمْ.

In the days that followed, I started listening more, stopped mocking others, and began encouraging my classmates in their activities.
