Personal Narrative: How Vacation Will Change My Life

Improved Essays
I never knew going on vacation would change my life forever. We where shopping and i was planning on buying a souvenir. A homeless man was leaning against one of the shops. I asked my mom for ten dollars from her purse. She gave me the money and I ran as fast as I could to the homeless man. He didn't look so good and I thought the ten dollars would help him a lot. The ten dollars in his hand looked like a perfect and charity fit, the look of surprise on his face made me ask myself “has no one treated him well, and i already knew the answer to that.

Mercy is the key God has mercy on the ones who live on this earth, as humans who can help should show our mercy onto those who need it.

I was with my best friend, Josh, and his family. I remember his mom saying “Helping those less fortunate is more rewarding than you think guys.” Didn’t think feeding homeless a Thanksgiving dinner was fun, I was ignorant tot the idea of it, but I didn’t know going to help less fortunate would open up a perspective on life I did not know about.…
