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. He told he had no financial support and was working 2 jobs in order to pay for his college tuition but was running short on money for books. I do not work, so I decided to sell a few of my old college textbooksso I could help.

I eventually saved up money for 2 textbooks and handed them to him and the rest of the money I got from the textbooks. I am willing to help him because of his courage and willingness to learn and become something in life.

He really is a hard worker and a top student, I hope as soon as I start working I am able to get another chance to help him towards his path to success.
