Doing community service work, I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out in the streets. After that I went to a   36   shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.

I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to   37   . She wanted to help,    38   she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to    39    and hand out to people. When getting to the homeless shelter I passed out the remaining meals. I had the containers with my   40   cookies in them and began to   41   , offering them to anyone near me.

I    42    an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me    43   in the eye and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes    44    a little bit and he said, “No one has    45    called me sir.” He was completely taken aback.

It struck me. 

I explained I had been raised that    46    color and social status, everyone deserved     47    . It made me    48    to think that just because he was homeless, no one    49   him the honor. It broke my   50   , and I couldn’t help   51   cry. I just didn’t understand    52   no one ever called him sir? I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every    53   person deserves to be treated with dignity. Years later, I still carry that memory and the    54   it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can    55   make a difference in someone’s life.
