How many times have we done something for someone else, putting aside our own wishes and desires? Normally it’s done in the name of love: we care about the person so much that we willingly put their desires first.

Sometimes we sacrifice ourselves for our jobs. The boss needs a lower-level job done. It shouldn’t be assigned to the office manager, but there’s a hint of a promotion or, most likely, a demotion if the person refuses.

There are many times a parent pushes aside their own wishes in order to assist a child. Perhaps the daughter’s baseball team needs snacks for the upcoming game: the parents either bakes or buys, taking time they wanted to do some gardening.

Your task is to write a story in which self-sacrifice plays an important role.

Have fun with this one.
