Alana As A Hero

Decent Essays
There are many heroes in the world today, I believe that I would fit into this category. From assisting people in need to changing lives and providing life assisting skills. When someone asked me to help out in the local homeless shelter, I was more than willing to help. Seeing the smile on those people’s faces I was helping feed was payment enough. Many of the homeless would ask why am I doing this, “because I care about you” I stated. This took the homeless people completely by surprise.
