The Problem

When you see people in need please share a smile with them even if you have nothing else .you cannot judge a book by its cover.Normally people see destitutes as lazy people,i my self was also guilty of that until i went to the Good Will Rescue Mission where i met some wonderful people,my opinion was changed and even though i didnt think of them as lazy i thought of them as people who do not care but after getting to listen ,talk and spend time with them i felt so guilty and sad at this people predicament.I spent time with them and had the most wonderful time feeding them and joking,seeing them laugh and joke was something i never thought they did,and truthfully they had nice smiles,i was so sad that i had to leave such wonderful people,but i would like people to think differently and help creat smiles in the face of unfortunate people cause i beleive that one smile can change the world of a troubled person.i was glad to know that this people will remember me as one of the people that caused them to smile,as one of them told me when we were playing scrables ,he said[dear i cannot remember the last time i laughed at all,or was happy to see a teenager,normally when i see them i get a sense of beign threatened and i feel like they are scared of my problem and me,but you have made me laugh thank you hae said to me as he stared at me amazed].it was a nice feeling to have made such a difference in a life.i feel so accomplished and satiafied even if i still have a long way to go,but still my smile can make a difference and take me and the troubled people all the way to happiness.so lets make a difference by caring and smiling at every person who comes across in our lives whether they are troubled or not.
