A Good Samaritan; a person who voluntarily offers sympathy or help in a time of trouble. This can either be someone you know or a complete stranger. In my case this person was a complete stranger to me. A few months ago I got into a minor biking accident and was all by myself. Sad to say I crashed and wasn't able to move much after I realized what had happened. Luckily a stranger near by came to my rescue and helped me up and asked if everything was okay. He asked me if I had any major injuries or needed medical attention. Thankfully none of that was required I only had a few scrapes and bruises and was close to my house so I was able to walk home. Now when I'm biking I think of that one day and wonder what it would have been like if that amazing Samaritan had not been their to help me out and get me back on my feet. I realize now that I have to be more careful and cautious of my surroundings. We need more people in the world who are willing to help others, out of the kindness of their own heart's not expecting a reward or needing to be told to go assist. I appreciate that man that assisted me and hope to encounter more people like that if I am ever in dire need of assistance in the future.
