Be quite blun is hard to think of a specific time when I help somebody. But now that it comes to my mind. There was this time I was walking with my pets around the park. And suddenly there was a young man approaching me with an older man. And he asked me for a favor to support the blind man. The older one that was walking with him. As, uh, this young guy needed to go somewhere else. I didn’t see it coming, but I decided to help this blind man who wanted to go to a church. Who was about ten blocks away from the park that we were going. I know my neighborhood very well. And because of that, I was very willing to help this man. As we started walking, he. I never knew this man, so I couldn’t talk to him that much. But he started asking me very personal questions. And even though I was glad to help him. Because, of course, it’s a deal when we get support or we support somebody else. The personality of this man was not the most agreeable one. He being kind of intrusive and making bad jokes. And eventually started offering products for sale. And because I didn’t agree with buying items from the ones that he was offering, he started becoming nasty and upset. And started giving some sort of classic comments that were not very pleasing. That was when I wanted that opportunity to finish. Now that I come to think of it, I think I was actually patient to that man. And if I could do it again in the future, I will certainly help someone who’s bound to require any kind of help or support. However, as I do, I also going to try as much as possible to keep my mouth quired. Not to make this chance of helping something compromising.

It's hard to think of a specific time when I helped someone. But now that I think about it, there was this time I was walking my dog around the park. Suddenly, a young man approached me with an older man. He asked me for a favor, to help the blind man, the older one who was walking with him. The young guy needed to go somewhere else. I wasn't expecting it, but I decided to help this blind man who wanted to go to a church about ten blocks away from the park. I know my neighborhood very well, so I was happy to help. As we started walking, I didn't know this man, so I couldn't talk to him much. But he started asking me very personal questions. Even though I was glad to help him, because it's always a good feeling to help someone, the personality of this man wasn't the most agreeable. He was kind of intrusive and made bad jokes. Eventually, he started offering products for sale. When I didn't agree to buy anything, he became nasty and upset. He started making some rude comments that weren't very pleasant. That's when I wanted to end the situation. Now that I think about it, I think I was actually very patient with that man. If I could do it again in the future, I would certainly help someone who needs help or support. However, I would also try my best to keep my mouth shut and not let the situation become uncomfortable.
