When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community sevice work．There was one specific event that was unusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out 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   36  . She wanted to help,   37   she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to  38  and hand out to people. When getting to the homeless shelter  39  passed out the remaining meals.  40  , I began making sandwiches and  41  them with the crowd. I had the containers with my  42  cookies in them and began to  43   , offering them to anyone near me.
I  44  an old gentleman and said, “sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around,   45   me right in the eye and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I  46  , and his eyes   47 a little bit and he said, “No one has   48  called me sir.” So he  49  .
It struck me. 
I explained I had been raised that   50  color and social status, everyone deserved respect. It   51   me to think that just because he was homeless, no one  52  him the honor. It broke my heart, and I  53  .I just didn’t understand   54  no one ever called him sir? I had never thought that anyon e was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every   55  person deserves to be treated with dignity. Years later, I still carry that memory and the lessons it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can really make a difference in someone’s life.
