When I was 19 years old, I was at a dance club. It was a very cold night. As my friend and I were walking to my car, a man walked up to us. Behind him was a woman pushing a *stroller with a child inside. The child had a jacket on but it wasn’t *zipped. The man began to tell us that he wanted to borrow some money for the night to get his wife and kid into a hotel …out of the cold. He had a job but no place to live and was waiting for his first *paycheck. He said he could get our address and send the money back to us.

My friend reached into his pocket to give this man a $20 bill. As the man was holding his hand out to take the money. I put my hand on my friend’s hand and said, “Can I talk to you for a minute?”

I told him about how my mother works in Seattle and every day people ask her for money. She said they make more money than she does, simply by *begging for money. These people were scamming those with soft hearts. And if they were truly worried about their child, they would have at least zipped his jacket or covered him with his *blanket.

My friend said “Michelle，I know there are people that take advantage of (占便宜)others. I also know there are people that are one paycheck away from being homeless. If I give money to 10 people and only one of them really needs it and uses it for the right thing, it is *worth it.”

I am now 37 years old. But I do remember that the experience changed the way I look at different situations.
