As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to a little pocket money.
One day I on the door of an elderly woman and asked if she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in and I showed her my worn coat, which no longer kept me warm. She me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be now.” She then took out a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to me with your report card and I will you when I see you have worked hard and have some good . Now reach out your little hands and take out as much as you can.”
I put my hands in the jar and grabbed so much money that it was for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time showed her that I had an “A”.
I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the huge this wonderful lady made over my life with her . This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.

A Man Named Lawrence
This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning.
It was at two o’clock in the morning. We just came out of a club and were trying to find our 36 back to our city. As we were trying to 37 the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us 38 it was. Although we were a little 39 , we had no choice but follow him. He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.
When we passed some city workers 40 the streets, they sprayed (喷溅) the homeless man. Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the 41 if they were "in the way". I didn’t know why they would do that. They were human beings, 42 , not cattle or objects.
This man had just gotten 43 in the middle of a cold night, but 44 shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you 45 if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It’s 46 use shouting at them, because they just get angry. You’re better off saying something from the 47 ."
It is 48 ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger 49 , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.
He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We 50 him and told him that we 51 have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were 52 , someone would help him."
Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways. 53 , this man taught us kindness. There was 54 we could really do to repay him. The only thing I hope to do is to 55 other people out.
