I have to start with a time that I made a trip, a language trip with an institute for learning English. I was supposed to be at the institute at a certain time, but I got lost. It was in 2015, when maps and Google Maps didn't exist. I barely had a cell phone, so I wasn't able to read Google Maps. I was in the middle of the street with a map, trying to figure out where I should go. Then, a random person on the street approached me and explained the exact route I needed to take to get to my institute. I was mind-blown and really surprised because I didn't ask for any help. This guy approached me out of nowhere and decided to help me. It was an awesome thing, and I was really appreciative of his generosity because I was running so late. I finally got there, and it really caught my attention. I was mind-blown by his action, and I'm really grateful for the kind of person I encountered on the street.

And it was like in 2015 that maps and Google Maps didn’t exist. I barely have a cell phone, so I wasn’t able to read Google Maps. So I was in the middle of the street with a map trying to figure out where I should go. And some random person on the street approached me and explained me the exact route that I had to take in order to get to my institute. And I was like mind-blowing and really really surprised because I didn’t ask for any help. And this guy approached me from nowhere and he decided to help me.
