Memoir Monday #2




"Today, we are going to the foundation Ayuda a un Niño en Navidad." our official teacher said.
My class and I had been collecting all kinds of toys, cloths, food etc. to give them to those kids. I started feeling kind of bad because we were giving them used clothed and toys, but when i got their and started giving out the stuff to the little girl i was assign to, she asked me that if all those things were only for her, and i told her that yes, all that toys and cloths were only for her. She started smiling, jumping, and shouting: "THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"

I started playing with her, and she told me it was the first time she had received toys and cloths at the same time, and that it was the best Christmas she had ever had. When she told me that, i started feeling kind of sad and at the same time happy because i had helped that little girl have the best Christmas she have ever had.

That little girl changed my life because before i met her, i actually didn't appreciate what my parents gave me every Christmas, but she taught me i need to be thankful for what i have, and appreciate everything they give me because not everybody is as lucky as you are to have the money and your parents giving you almost everything you want.

  1. I agree with you, sometime we are not grateful for what we recieve but that's because we don't think about the other kids that aren't as lucky as we are. Very touching! I liked it :)

  3. Great story Ana Caro! I have to agree with you in the fact that we are not grateful when we receive our Christmas presents because we don't know what other people are going through. BTW "i" is capitalized. ;)
