Taking a Leap

Everyone takes risks in their lives, some do it more than others and find it rewarding. However risks are not always rewarded, a lot of the time risk lead to hazards and bad things to happen. Risk could be the right thing to do if the circumstance provided no other option. However people still take risk when there are other safer options because the outcome may be better than taking the easy way. Sacrifice is also a risk since the sacrifice you made may not always help. People make many different types of sacrifice for their loved ones, they can very from using money to trading in your own life for theirs. Most of my friends have taken risks to help me before. Some lied to teachers to get me out of trouble and some took the punishment for me. As for me, I have taken the same risks that my friends have taken for me. To be specific one of the times my friend who didn't understand any Chinese at all, accidental threw a basketball out over the fence and onto the street where it hit it someone riding a bicycle. The person have been hit was really mad and threatened my friend. The biker said that he was going to call the police if he didn't apologize and give him money to go to the hospital. My friend was shocked and he froze, therefore I went up to the biker and tried to calm him down. I ended up being yelled at because I took the blame for the throw and after about half an hour of yelling by the man I ended up in the principals office and got "yelled" at for another  twenty minutes. Why did I do it I am not sure but all I know is that if it was my friend who confronted the man the situation would have been a lot worse. So I guess it all comes down to who you are taking the risk for and if you do take the risk would it remedy the situation.
