Sacrifice In Duty, Humility, And Tax

The story of Suyuan Woo is a great example of the theme sacrificing for on her journey from one city to another she experienced great loss.

In the end, none of these sacrifices came close to what I had to give up if I wanted to get into MAST. I had to give up time with my friends, time for myself, and a huge chunk of my weekend. The preparation class I took demanded many sacrifices, some being very hard for me to give up. I had never been subjected to that much hardship, even when my family had to live at my grandma’s house.

The sacrifices I made during my journey revealed to me who I really am.

It is acceptable for someone to sacrifice oneself for the sake of another. A sacrifice is when someone gives something that is important to them in order to help another. First, “The Highwayman” is a good example of why sacrifice is acceptable.

This is acceptable because the king’s men were probably going to kill her anyway, and doing this she saved the highwayman. If he were to die she probably thought that there would be no reason to live anyway. The next piece of text that supports sacrifices is “The Third Wish.” In this story, Leita sacrificed her freedom to stay loyal to Mr.Peters. This is a good sacrifice

Martin Luther King Jr. once expressed that “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.” Knowing this, some people are willing to sacrifice everything in order to fulfill their ambition. Consequently, what makes a sacrifice truly worth it? In layman’s terms, a sacrifice is the act of relinquishing an object or action that one desire in order to obtain something of equal value.

Routines are meant to be interrupted, comfort zones are meant to be crossed, and paths are meant to be changed as we have so much to live for. Sacrifices should be risks that we are willing to take as they provide us with the experience and enrich us for greater concepts we have yet to learn.
