People who live in Georgia, or Atlanta probably have heard this.
My french teacher's husband and son was killed by an intruder on a school night while she was upstairs (the tucker football coach and son, the venables). It was all over the news. i collect more than 100 supporters from different parts of the country and put them down on a list and sent it to her in time of valentines day, and she was really grateful. I actually felt like i was unselfish for once. anything you did that made you proud of yourself? |

First of all, you don't have to double post. Just be patient.
Hmm...I'm proud of myself when I help other people out when they ask me. I gave a poor person food one time. |

I never donate money to one of those winter things. How a guy in a santa costume rings a bell continuously and stuff and stands next to this charity thing. Well, I never everrrr bring money out to go to Shop Rite and so I asked my mommy, and usually she never gave me money to donate to the charity thing, and this time she did.
 It's not a big deal though.. but I felt happy donating 10 dollars

QUOTE(xj_liana_tx @ Dec 28 2004, 5:48 PM) i gave this beggar on the street 1 dollar on chinese new year day Ooo, one dollar. That's nothing when you compare it to what you really have, or even when it's compared to what YOU received on Chinese New Year's. I wouldn't brag about it. |

This one day when I was walking home from school, this old lady was walking and all of a sudden she tripped. I went to her and helped her and asked if she was okay. I felt bad because I thought she was really hurt but she was fine. It made me feel warm inside that I helped her.

 your sweetest sin. Group: Member Posts: 416 Joined: May 2004 Member No: 18,960 |
in eighth grade we had this adopt-a-family project and the mom wished to finish her semester at the nearby community college. i was so moved that i asked my parents not to get me christmas presents that year and to, instead, donate $200 to the lady's college fund. my parents gave $100 and i took all my money ($80) and added it to the check.
and when i see beggers in the street, i always give them at least two dollars. |

mhmm....this one time i took this guy from a party to get to his house, but i had no car....and i found only two bikes, and so i tried to get this really drunk guy that kept being attracted to street lights home..10 miles, 4 hours, and a bunch of bruises later,,,i got him safe n' sound at home
but then i was stuck wit 2 bikes and 10 miles between me n' the house where i got them from...i couldn't get a car, cuz everyone was passed out or too drunk to drive, and i didn't know exactly how to drive and i wasn't feelin comfortable about stealing someones car, lol. and this guy really needed to get home....so after that big ordeal i felt proud of myself for doing that lol, i know that sounds stupid, but it was pretty rough for me. lol kinda funny when he'd run off the road or somethan when he'd see a light and try to run to it. lol funny but not
