In your response it’s important to be clear who your talking to because there’s a fine line between professional and personal. Keep in mind of your audience. When you started you said, “Hi Guys” that greeting is more personal then professional.

It seems as if your response is towards your male classmates instead of to everyone. Try to use appropriate greeting in your message. Try saying, “Hi everyone” for example.…

Another case was where Johnny was dying and wrote this down and put it in the copy of Gone with the Wind. On page 178 it states, “It’s worth saving those kids.” This means he felt the kids had more to live for than he did. As you can see Johnny is kind because he put others before himself on multiple occasions.…
