I have always believed that helping others is a rewarding experience that can bring joy and satisfaction to both the giver and the receiver. I am so lucky to be able to share an experience of an event with you when I helped a child who needed it badly. It was a few months ago when I was at the local park in my neighborhood. I went there to walk for a while as part of my evening exercise. As I was walking around the park, I noticed a young child who seemed to be lost and confused. He was crying and calling out for his mother, but she was nowhere to be found. I approached him and asked him if he needed help. He told me his name and said that he could not find his mother. I immediately took him under my care and started looking for his mother. I helped the child because I felt it was my responsibility to assist him in finding his mother. Moreover, seeking the child alone and crying broke my heart and I wanted to ensure his safety and well-being. I think in such a critical situation, helping the alone child who could not find his mother was really a good indeed to do. I felt a sense of responsibility and fulfillment in helping the child. It was a small act of kindness, but it made a significant impact. Seeking the smiles on his and his mother’s faces when we finally found her was priceless and it made me feel good about myself.
