Helping A Friend
I really wantto share this story that happened a couple of weeks back. One of my friends had told me about this guy from my economics class, who was homeless and was sleeping in his car for the rest of the semester, since the rent in the Bay Area is very pricey. I had asked my friend to give me his contact number so I could go talk to him and see what was going on. I met him the following week and sat down with him.

One day, I went to Safeway a little late at night. There were only 2 cash registers open at 12 AM, and a woman and her younger brother were ahead of me.

Recycling At The Beach!
A few days ago I was at the beach, and I felt sorry to see so much trash lying around near the rocks. How could I relax with so much litter around?
So, my friend and I grabbed a pair of gl
oves from a nearby place, and started picking up the litter - as many number of cans, napkins, bottles, and rubber as we could find.
While we were picking up these items, a man passing by also joined us and lent a helping hand. I think we collected a bag full.
We should all do our part to be the solution and recycle!
