Quick Write: Selfless Sacrifice

I've done some sacrifices before. However, there was one sacrifice I did that I thought was really big. There was one time during the summer of 2011, all of my classmates in the my art class is going on an art trip. I was really excited that because I was one of the people that is handpicked by the director. The others have to fight for the places, or wait for some of the handpicked members to not go. In my grade, I have a lot of friends, but I don't know any of the people in the other grades. On the other hand, this girl, a friend of mine has a lot of friends all over the grades. She wasn't picked by the director, and she wasn't there when everyone was fighting for the last few spots. When she got back, I had to see her depressed, lonesome face every time I go to class. I really wanted to go, I need more landscape drawings, and I really want to go to that amusement park with all my friends. However, a week before they went on to the trip, I told the director that I can't go at that time, and I made up this really fake meeting, then I told him that I want my friend to take my place. I didn't regret my decision though. After they were back, they shared with me all about the fun they had. I was still one of them, and I felt like I did the right sacrifice.
