My mom is a volunteer in a public hospital. She and her friends sell things to obtain money for medicines or supplies that may be needed by the hospital. They also bring dinner every Monday to the people waiting for their relatives outside the hospital.
One Monday, I stayed after school to make up a class. When my mom picked me up, she asked me to go to the hospital with her and help with dinner. "At least, this one time" she said. At first, I didn't want to, but in the end she convinced me and I went; obviously unhappily.
After we arrived and took everything out of the c
ar, we set up the table and started serving dinner. The more food we gave, the more people would come.
Looking at people's faces, especially those from children, was amazing! The way they brightened up reflected their gratefulness for receiving this meal, and that made me feel glad for being there.
Since then, I have kept going every week. That day I realized that a kind action is not only about receiving, but giving as well.
