What is a sacrifice that you’ve made that was worth it?

A sacrifice in my life that I’ve made was giving up my time to altar serve, but at the end of the day, it made me feel better as a person.

Three years ago, I gave up dancing to focus more on schoolwork. This was difficult because at that time I had been dancing at a ballet school for 10 years. In the end it was worth it because now I am in a wonderful school with a great education.

I sacrificed playing hockey for clubs and theater. I love playing hockey and it’s upsetting not playing, but it’s worth it for theater.

I gave up my Easter vacation to go on a service trip to the Dominican Republic. It was definitely worth it because I got to help build a playground for the disabled children in Hogal Immanuel and got to know about the level of poverty around the world.

A sacrifice that I’ve made in my life is setting aside time everyday to study. I would have probably just spent this time playing games, but now that I see improvement in my grades, I realize that this sacrifice is well worth it.
