Michael is a college art teacher in California on a normal day． But on the 15th of each month， Michael takes his old﹣fashioned sewing machine（缝纫机）to one of the poorest neighborhoods in San Francisco．

    For almost 15 years， Michael has made this trip． But why would he ever do this？ His only purpose is to help others in the area， where many people are poor or homeless． He sets up a shop on a corner of a street and offers his services as a tailor（裁缝）for free． He is there to sew and mend any clothing people bring him．

    He has made many friends in the area for his kind actions． And his caring spirit has encouraged many people living there．

    Michael's hard work is a great example of doing something positive with whatever talent you have． This is a living example of a well﹣known saying， "Do what you can， with what you have， where you are．"

    All of Michael's actions have helped him understand things he never thought． "My small act is mostly just a gesture，" Michael told USA Today． "I think what's more important is the example of taking part， being a citizen（公民）and acting outside of what is normal．"
