Doing community service work, I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out in the streets. After that I went to a 16 shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to 17 . She wanted to help, 18 she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to 19 and hand out to people. When getting to the homeless shelter I passed out the remaining meals. I had the containers with my 20 cookies in them and began to 21 , offering them to anyone near me.
I 22 an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me 23 in the eye and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes 24 a little bit and he said, “No one has 25 called me sir.” He was completely taken aback.
It struck me.
I explained I had been raised that 26 color and social status, everyone deserved 27 . It made me 28 to think that just because he was homeless, no one 29 him the honor. It broke my 30 , and I couldn’t help 31 cry. I just didn’t understand 32 no one ever called him sir? I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every 33 person deserves to be treated with dignity. Years later, I still carry that memory and the 34 it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can 35 make a difference in someone’s life.
How have you made a difference to others? How have others made a difference to you?
