What do we do when we want to get stronger in a certain area or even better. We exercise that certain area. Try it, who knows it might bring some relief to yourself. Growing up, I had experiences that shaped me into what I am today. One of the experiences that stand out in my life is beeing in the tenderloin in San Franciso. I spend a week hanging out with homeless humans. I would go out at night and serve hot chocolate to them. I remember on a night me and two other friends headed out together. We met a man who was sitting on a side walk on one of the heavy foot traffic streets in the tenderloin. He had a sign in front of him that said help need money for food. We were talking to him for quite a while. People kept on passing by without anyone putting a coin in his ripped coffee cup. We started asking people for him. I think in like three hours we got maybe $20 bucks. A lady that passed by said I won't give him any money because he will use it on drugs. We promised her that we would personally take him to dinner if she gave. She gave us like $10 which was nice. After a while we went to a fastfood restaurant down the street. We sat and had dinner with him, later some of his friends showed up so we bought them dinner too. He was telling me about how he ended up homeless. All these experiences left a strong impact in my life. Also, sharing my life with the people I attended school with up at Jubilee, hering all my peers stories. Its been strong.
