Being A Good Samaritan- Kayla Voas

Being a good Samaritan means that you help someone in need. Many people often hold a door opened for someone, helps them carrying something for someone else, or even just help them on a homework problem. Even though I help others in this way, I have also helped others in big ways. Last year a few weeks before Christmas my family, family friends, some of their friends and I created gift bags filled with toiletries, packaged foods, and clothing like mittens and hats. My family created about 15 gift bags, but in total of all the families that came with us there was about 75 to 100 gift bags. On Christmas day my family and I drove around downtown San Diego looking for homeless people. Once we found someone, one of us would get out of the car and hand them the gift bags we created. They were all very thankful and happy with what they received on that Christmas day. I also felt very thankful and happy myself being able to have the chance of giving out the gift bags and being a good Samaritan. We all plan to continue this tradition for many years to come.
