赠人玫瑰，手留余香
赠人玫瑰，手留余香

Today was a special day for me. I had my doctor's appointments in a town that's about 45 minutes from where I live.
After my appointment was done, I started walking down from the building through a long breezeway(有屋顶的过道) and I noticed an elderly woman pacing at the end. I asked if she was waiting for someone or she needed assistance.
As it turned out, she was having trouble walking the distance and had looked for a staff member to pick her up. No one had come for several minutes. I asked her to sit still when I went to get a wheelchair. I ran full speed to the help desk and asked for one. The receptionist and I walked to the end of the breezeway to the lady, who said, “I want her to help me.” She was referring to me. I carefully, slowly and attentively helped the woman into the wheelchair. After she was seated, she softly looked up to me and thanked me for my help. How could I not have helped her? I just wanted her to be alright.
When I returned home, I called my best friend to ask if she needed me. She wanted me to take her and her boyfriend to the Boost Mobile Store. I did and after all was taken care of, I took my friends back home. I thanked them for the opportunity to help them and that I appreciated it. Maybe it meant little to them, but a lot to me.
