A time that I recall abetting someone is when I spotted a lost and confused lady. I could tell she was not from here, so I approched her and asked her if she needed some help. She barely understood english and had to use hand gestures to communicate with me. I can understand what she was trying to point out but not clearly. Then she started to speak this language that I was very familiar with. She was speaking tagalog! I was filled with relief because I did not want to leave this helpless lady lost. I told her I can understand tagalog and her face lit up. As she was speaking, I finally can understand what she was trying to ask me. She wanted to know where Otay Ranch Town center was located because she was going to meet some of her family members there but got lost on the way, and did not carry her phone with her. I gave her directions to the mall and she thanked me for my help. Without my help she said she could have been wondering all over Eastlake. I did not ask anytihing in return because just by helping that lost lady made my day. When aidding someone, you tend to feel enlightened and it is a delighting feeling.
