My personal connection is when my sister was yelling at her boyfriend and I defended him from her wrath. She was mad because he took some of her clothes to give to his friend. She did not understand why he did this so she was yelling very loudly. I came in and made her understand why he did this and that its not that big of a deal. She finally chilled out and it was all cool.

My personal connection was when I stood up for someone that could not do it for themselves. My younger cousin was playing in the park and some older boys came over to him and started to pick on him because he was a little but smaller than everyone. I just came out of the bathroom and and it seemed as if the boys had just been waiting for me to leave my cousin vulnerable. I dashed over to them and confronted them and asked if they would do this if their parents were their and they all said no. So instead if kicking their asses. I just gave them something to always think about. I told them, what would you do if you were in my cousins shoes, and they all said that they would not be able to do anything since they would be defenseless and I left them on something to chew on.

My personal connection is when my older cousin was making fun of the way my sister was talking or playing, something. It was kind of annoying, the way he was teasing her. So I told my cousin to back off or he would get out of my room, and I wouldn't care how. So after that he kind of backed off and left my sister alone. But he was kind of in a bad mood after that. But I really don't like when someone iks picking on my family. It just ticks me off.

My connection was when I stood for my friend who was getting bullyed. He could not do anything because he was smaller than the guy I talked to the bully and they acucatly became cool after. I had them slap hands and now I see them playing basketball. I feel happy because I know if I didn't do anything it could have turned out a lot worse.
