The Happiest Thing of My Life
Memories stop at a couple of years ago. That is a rain day, and I didn’t take my umbrella, so I stay at the door of a shop. There is a homeless woman next to a little at the other side of the road. I thought the little boy should be her son. The girl dropped the only bamboo poncho over the boy's body. Suddenly, my eyes are fascinated by a lovely little boy. He probably five or six years old, with a little yellow hat only has in primary proprietary, lips humming the songs, and looks fun on his face, chubby little hand holding a shiny umbrella with flowers logo on it, the other hand holding a piece of sweet and delicious, exquisite cakes. Pop jumping from his walk in front of me. Mixed with the water splashed his feet, but he did not care. Suddenly he stopped and looked back as the old beggar, and then looked down at the cake on his hand and the beggars, biting his lip, as if to think about something, a brick firm steps walked to the beggar. 
 "Well, it’s for you, this is the last thing I bought with pocket money." The boy said. Beggars opened his eyes, awakened from a dreamless, "to me? Thank you so much." He spoke, he trembled with his hand and slowly took the cake. But he confused the cake to the side of a child. Children immediately gobbled up. "This is my son," the beggar said: "He has not eaten in a long time. thanks for the piece of cake." The boy petted the little boy’s head and said: "It does not matter, we should help each other when they need help." just finished, he ran to the house, gradually disappear in a crowded street.
When I was young, my parents, school teachers have taught us to be helpful, others have a difficult time in reaching out to make their own efforts to help them, but with age, it seems fewer and fewer people noted that, contrary to the younger children more attention to these things. Maybe someone will think that to a beggar on the street would be embarrassed to eat; some people will think that beggars are fake, rely on make lies to

    Thirty minutes ago I was just having so much fun going down a hill on a sled. It was to much for Jonas’s mind to handle. He was getting very cold, very fast so he went back towards the elder’s dwelling, but as he walked back a mat lay on the ground that stated. “Welcome to Rosemary’s Dwelling.”. Jonas thought he had heard that name before, but he could not remember where from. All of his memories were sent back to the community. He decided to go back inside and look at her picture again. Now that he looked closer the man in the picture looked like The Giver, and the one of the children was a boy and the other a girl. It started to come back to him. He remembered the Giver telling him about a beautiful woman named Rosemary, and how she released herself because of the pain she was being put…

    Frown sinking to worry. Forgetting all fears of darkness, the clicking of heels reaches the boy’s side. This woman’s smile calming, light, voice lulling. She's careful not to startle him as she brings him securely to her chest. Her once spotless outfit washing in the mud-stained concrete. Meanwhile, a spark has grown in the boy’s eye. This stranger matching visions of guardians in his past. His weak body comes alive, a flash of silver brightens the street. The boy shoots up. A jagged silver strip tearing the woman's cloth. Her heart halting - mid beat failing. Gone is this privileged girl an empty shell in her place. Organs once keeping her inside now dangling on the street. Cackling breaks the mist. Excited hands fiddling with the tan coloured skin, mouth straining so unused to his smile. So our scene can now fade on the platted strings of flesh, the boy having gained one tiny spot of enjoyment…

    With age comes maturity, increased awareness, and common sense. As I got older I started to realize that the life and opportunities that were given to me were not necessarily given to my classmate next to me. I believe this concept really drove home when I met a boy named Amit in middle school. Amit was a new student who really stood out to me because he spoke very little English. At the time I thought, “Who doesn’t know how…

    Sometimes just seeing other people doing something kind or helpful makes us more willing to help others. People setting good examples of service can inspire for others to help, someone just has to break the ice..One of the key reasons people often fail to take action when help is needed is that they do not notice what is happening until it is too late. It may also be hard to know when someone actually needs help. Another tip to help with this is to have some kind of training of CPR or the Abdominal Thrust by taking first aid classes. People are most likely to help if they are prepare deal with potential emergencies (“How to Overcome the Bystander Effect”).…

    Performing the act of kindness of providing money for food to someone in need helped to build moral character for both parties involved. The person in need, perhaps has gained knowledge he or she is not alone and others do care about what happens to him or her. The person receiving the gift may reciprocate the act by searching for jobs or applying for social support. The person giving the gift has become responsible to help others; this act can lead to bigger acts in the community of aid to others. Many people in the community practicing altruism can be beneficial in teaching social responsibility to others. In such efforts to promote altruism limits exist in persuading others to become responsible in the plight.…

    As a volunteer helping with Harvest Kitchen I was shocked to realize the amount of people in our community that come from all walks of life, adults, elders, and children that need assistance. These people are people that when looking at them walking on the street you would never know the situations they come from or what they need to do in order to survive. It also helped solidify a previous lesson I learned when it comes to judging others, “you can never judge a book by its cover”. This lesson has stuck with me throughout my life and throughout my service work; a person is a person, no matter the situation or social class they come from. As human beings we all need love and desire someone to relate to. When helping with Harvest Kitchen I knew that we were all equal and the fact that those who needed help were humble enough to seek assistance in order to…
