Strangers Together

         In this modern society, teamwork is very important because that’s where magic is created. When you’re alone, you only have a limited strength and ability to accomplish a goal. But with many people working efficiently, things would definitely be different. In the story “102 minutes,” the strangers work together because they want to survive in the disaster. By putting efforts on saving each other’s lives, it would be more effectual with more meaning. When working alone, you might not be able to think of the best solution and absolutely has less chance to survive in the predicament.

         One example that I remember working with other strangers, though not involved with fatality, is that we work together to benefit ourselves from wasting money. One day, I went to Cold Stone with my friends, and there was a special premium that the person who buys the new flavor can also choose another flavor but paying the same price. I bought the new flavor and asked my friend what do they want. Unexpectedly, they didn't want any. The person behind suddenly asked me if we could buy it together and divide up the money. I said yes because it really can save my money. I will never forget this unusual experience.
