TKAM Ch. 3

The best advice I ever received as a child was the same exact advice that Scout received from Atticus. Growing up as an only child, I wasn't used to thinking about how my actions affected those around me. When I started kindergarten, I was really excited, but a little bit overwhelmed at all of the children that were there. On the first day, I was playing with some toy or another when someone came up to me and asked if they could play with me. I proceeded to take the toys to the other side of the room and tell the person that I didn't like to share. The person got really upset and told our teacher. I couldn't understand why I had gotten in trouble. When I got home, I told my mom about it, and she told me that next time, I should try to see things from the other person's perspective.
