I recall a time when I help a foreigner at the train station to find her way to the destination that she would like to arrive to. So. One day when I was at the train station on my way back home after work, a foreigner approached me and she asked for my assistance to give her the clear direction to Yawarat, which is the Chinatown in Bangkok. And she asked how she could take the train to get there. There. I try to understand her and uh, I do express my empathy with her that. Because I can see that her, um. That she is in hurry and she might. Felt. Might. Might have felt that she is lost and really needs some help. So I try to explain the direction and the number of the train as well as the number of the platform that she can take the train to the destination. I try to be as clear and articulate as possible so that I can make sure that she can understand me. And after she get advice and information from me, she thanked me multiple times. And after that I felt a strong sense of fulfillment because I can feel that my help is really useful for her. And I can also realize that small actions or just small help that I offer to someone can make a positive difference to someone in need.

I recall a time when I helped a foreigner at the train station find her way to the destination she wanted to reach. One day, when I was at the train station on my way back home after work, a foreigner approached me and asked for my assistance in giving her clear directions to Yawarat, which is Chinatown in Bangkok. She wanted to know how she could take the train to get there. I tried to understand her and expressed my empathy because I could see that she was in a hurry and might have felt lost and really needed help. I explained the directions, the train number, and the platform number she could take to reach her destination. I tried to be as clear and articulate as possible to ensure she could understand me. After she received advice and information from me, she thanked me multiple times. I felt a strong sense of fulfillment because I could tell that my help was really useful to her. I also realized that small actions or just a little help I offer to someone can make a positive difference to someone in need.
