Back in the day when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life,I was studying to become a firefighter.As a firefighter,you're constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children.It's the mindset,at least for someone trying to get into a relationship of brothers,that is the most difficult part in this job!
One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito(玉米餅) place.I was approached by a homeless man.He was very dirty and obviously hungry.He asked me for some change to buy a little food.As I ' was pulling some change out,I had an idea.
I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner,so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order.When he followed me in,the people behind the count er refused to let him in.After some arguing,he finally sat down.I asked him to order whatever he wanted.He only ordered a burrito,so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted.He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior.But to me,it was what any "human being" should do or at least offer.I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face.To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday,with all the candy,chocolate that we were about to eat.He was like that kid again,getting to experience a big meal.And I think he felt special,like he was getting attention.Again something that I could see he hadn't experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story,because to me it's not just about helping someone out by feeding them,but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
