Once I gave a homeless guy a ride from upstate to downstate b/c he said he needed to go South b/c it was cold. It was January, and he said he'd slept in the woods the night before. I drove him 3 hours south and called around until I found a shelter for him to go to. I barely had any money, so I gathered up all my change and went into a gas station and bought about 10 packs of sandwich crackers. It wasn't much, but it was all I could do. And I had a travel bag in my truck that I carry around, so I gave him all the things out of it I thought he could use--deodarant, a folding hairbrush, toothpaste, stuff like that. After listening to him talk for hours, I realized how bad it is to be in that situation, and how grateful I should be for the little that I do have.

Bought an elderly woman her Thanksgiving dinner. She was standing behind me in the grocery line and was wishing she had more money to buy a bigger turkey since her grandchildren were coming over and they ate a lot. So I told the cashier I was paying for her groceries, paid for them, told her I knew how kids were. She stood there with her mouth open, tears in her eyes, said Thank-you. I wished her a Happy Thanksgiving, winked at her and left.

Be a shoulder to cry on. Give advice as far as I can.
Smiling at a stranger can do amazing things.

Performed CPR on a man at a car accident. He lived. However, it was me that was changed forever.

I failed a course so I could help them by coaching them when I should have been handing in assignments. I never told them I failed, it was important to them than to me.
