There was one time when I helped a stranger. It happened two years ago when I was 14 years old. I was on my way home from my martial arts class, feeling pretty exhausted. It was quite late, around 9 PM, when I crossed the bridge and saw a guy lying on the street. He appeared to be unconscious. As I approached him, he mumbled that he was feeling dizzy and had a severe headache. Despite being nine years older than me, I managed to put his arms over my shoulder and help him. I was determined to get him to safety, so I took him to a nearby café. It was winter, and the cold air made the situation feel even more urgent. Once we were at the café, I ordered him some hot meals and coffee to help him warm up. He expressed his gratitude and offered to give me money for my help, but I told him to save it for another day. He was so relieved that he started to cry tears of joy. In that moment, I felt genuinely happy and even proud of myself for my actions. Although it wasn't a monumental act, it brought me a sense of fulfillment. After we said our goodbyes, I continued on my way home.
