Back in the day when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life，I was studying to become a firefighter.As a firefighter，you're constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children.It's the mindset，at least for someone trying to get into a relationship of brothers，that is the most difficult part in this job!
    One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito（玉米餅） place.I was approached by a homeless man.He was very dirty and obviously hungry.He asked me for some change to buy a little food.As I ' was pulling some change out，I had an idea.
    I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner，so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order.When he followed me in，the people behind the count er refused to let him in.After some arguing，he finally sat down.I asked him to order whatever he wanted.He only ordered a burrito，so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted.He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
    For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior.But to me，it was what any "human being" should do or at least offer.I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face.To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday，with all the candy，chocolate that we were about to eat.He was like that kid again，getting to experience a big meal.And I think he felt special，like he was getting attention.Again something that I could see he hadn't experienced in a long time.
    I often think about this story，because to me it's not just about helping someone out by feeding them，but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.
