When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific  36  that was unusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless   37   in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to   38   . She wanted to help,   39  she made many chocolate chip cookies for me to  40   and hand out to people. When getting to the shelter, I passed out the   41   . I began making sandwiches and   42    them with the crowd. I had the containers with my sister’s   43    in them and began to   44    around, offering them to anyone near me.
I approached an   45   gentleman and said, “ Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes   46    a little bit and said, “ No one has   47    called me sir.’ So he was completely moved.
It   48    me.
I explained I had been raised that   49    color and social status, everyone deserved respect. It   50    me to think that just because he was homeless, no one   51    him the honor. It broke my heart. 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 respect. 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.
