A while back when i was in middle school, my mom told me that i had to walk home because she could not use her car. As there was no other alternative to get home, i agreed and started walking. About halfway across, i noticed something in the grass and so i approached it and i found out it was 10 dollars that someone dropped. The first thing that came to my mind was finding the person who could have possibly dropped them, but as no one was around, i decided to keep them. Now full of joy that i found 10 dollars i continued to walk to my house, when i spot a homeless person laying down in a patch of grass with a grocery cart full of cans. I think to myself "Should I give this man the money that i just found?" It seemed like the right thing to do, I just found the money lying on the floor and i was most likely going to waste it on useless items, and so i approached this man and I just handed the money to him without saying anything. He looked at me kind of strange and he said to me "This is a lot of money, you sure you want to give it to me? I responded yes immediately and i did not think about it. He stood up, i could see he was smiling, and said to me "Thanks kid" and took off, then i quickly departed as well. as i continued my walk, i felt that i did a good thing, that that money could be more useful to him than me, i that i did not regret doing it.
