The one time I decided to help a stranger was two months ago. I was at the university when I saw a group of people at the corner of the street discussing a situation. They didn't have anything to eat, so I decided to buy some food, vegetables, drinks, and other items. I went to the supermarket and bought some things for them. I got water, milk, and juice, and I took these goods to them. When I handed them the food, the strangers had mixed smiles and they gave me some thanks and letters of appreciation. Afterwards, I felt very happy because I am a very friendly person, and that day I was able to make a connection with them. It made me feel very good, and that's all.
