Personal Narrative: The Homeless Man

Improved Essays
It was Thanksgiving morning, my brother, my sisters, and I were on our way to meet our parents and family at the AT&T stadium to tailgate at the Cowboys football game. On our way there, we stop at a red light, and I notice a homeless man sitting there. He had nowhere to go and nothing to eat. I felt bad for him and asked Jennifer, my sister, if we should give him some food. She says yes, so we stop at the gas station right in front of us. I get out with her and go to the back of the car, because that’s where the food was. I get two plates and hand one to her and I get the other one and we start putting food on them. As soon as we’re done filling the plates with food, we start walking towards the man.(8) When we get there we tell him

    More than 10,000 people are homeless in Atlanta on any given night, and I was given the opportunity to go and help them. A year and a half ago I went up, from my lovely suburban hometown in Orlando, Florida, to the urban hub of Atlanta, Georgia with my local church’s youth group to help out with the homeless epidemic. Being a veteran of mission trips, I was prepared to help out people who needed help and let the kindness of God move through me like a beacon of love, but I was never prepared for all of it to change the way I viewed life. Morals inculcated in me on that trip still affect my decisions to this day. Morals such as being selfless, having patience, and having empathy profoundly define me as a person because of this trip.…
