i made and served thanksgiving dinner at a homeless shelter around that time. it was one of the most powerful and eye opening times for me. all the men (it was a male only shelter) were so grateful for everything that we gave them. the smile in their eyes, or the men that couldn't even look at because they were so bashful, or the mumbling of thanks just about broke my heart. they had lost so much, yet they could still be kind and polite gentlemen. often they would ask for a "bit more potatoes" and we had to turn them down so that we could feed everyone. it was awful saing no. it felt like you were ripping out your sould because you wanted to give them the whole pot of potatoes, but you couldn't.
but then there are the little things that we do everyday. like putting some money in the palm of a beggar, or picking up the fallen papers of a school mate. it doesn't have to be a huge thing like serving at a shelter to make a difference.
there is no better feeling than serving others.

Today - I showed him around the school. What's weird is my best friend ended up doing the same thing for another new transfer student with my knowing. Talk about a coincidence.

Every damn day, but that's cheating as I work in a housing project that houses 191 mentally ill people. I still haven't met them all.

Yesterday...guy in a parking lot...opened his minivan door and a bunch of **** fell out. One thing rolled to the other side of the van where I was. I picked it up and gave it to him. He barely thanked me.
