As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to
36 a little pocket money.One day I
37 on the door of an elderly woman and asked
38 she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in
39 and I showed her my worn
40 , which no longer kept me warm. She
41 me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be
42 now.” She then
43 a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a 44 job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to
45 new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to
46 me with your report card and I will
47 you when I see you have worked hard and have some good
48 . Now reach out your little hands and take out as much
49 as you can.”
I put my hands in the jar and
50 so much money that it was
51 for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she
52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I
53 her that I had an “A”.
I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the huge
54 this wonderful lady made over my life with her
55 . This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.
