I’m going to talk to you about the occasion when I helped someone. So I was in the cashier waiting for my turn to get money from it. And there was an old man in the cashier trying to get money from it and he couldn’t get the money. So he was really struggling with that. And then he came out from it and he asked me to help him. And I saw him and I think he seems like a good man. So I went and I helped him to get the money out. And because he was struggling with an app, he was an old man. You know, usually elderly people are not quite good with this kind of technology apps from the money. So after that I really felt really, really good because you know, these kind of little things that are really meaningful for you. And then I talked to my dad and I helped this man and he said, oh yeah, I knew that man. I knew that man. He was a workmate in my really work time.

I'm going to talk to you about the occasion when I helped someone. I was at the cashier waiting for my turn to withdraw money. There was an old man at the cashier trying to get money, but he couldn't. He was really struggling with it. Then he came over and asked me to help him. I saw him and thought he seemed like a good man, so I went and helped him get the money out. He was struggling with an app, and being an elderly person, he wasn't very familiar with this kind of technology. After that, I felt really good because these little things can be very meaningful. I talked to my dad about helping this man, and he said, 'Oh yeah, I know that man. He was a workmate from my earlier work days.' It was nice to know that my small act of kindness connected to my dad's past, and it made me feel even better about helping him.
