Something I have realized throughout my my life, is that on holidays, people tend to try to compensate, or help out the ones in need. And although this is a really admirable thing to do, it is usually something that is only done during this occasions. Furthermore, most times, it is assumed that their only needs are the material ones, when really, a lot of people need moral and spiritual need.
My school used to take us to poor daycares on christmas eve, and we would be assigned each one one kid, to whom we would bring a bag of candy, a little lunch bag, and a gift.

When I met her, I could notice she was really quiet, up to the point I realized she wouldn 't really speak. I found out she had been raped, and it broke my heart to see how much it had really hurt her. I could only imagine all she was feeling inside, and how hard it must be, if she was at the point of not taking out loud. With time I was able to get a couple words, and a couple of smiles, which was more than we would have expected.
I could go on with all the little experiences I had with all the people I have encountered, but I decided to use the frost ones to come up to my mind, and the ones that had left the greatest impression on me. To this day, I feel like it was one of my biggest accomplishments, and I feel grateful about having had the opportunity to participate on something like this. Even though I have talked about several experiences, it was all of them together that really left a mark in my life, and thought me to be grateful, nor take things fro granted, and most importantly be selfless and help the people around
