A Smile and a Thank You

Everyday, as i go to class, i noticed a mom and her son at Loyola street. Sometimes, they would just wake up and fix their things or play around. Often, they sort the garbage and maybe eventually sell these at the junk shop. How i love their smile that no matter how life had been to them they could still manage to smile.

One day, i was shocked when i saw this mother crying hard. She was shouting and crying that someone stole something from her. I couldn't manage to help them since i was already late and i was afraid someone might attack me instead. I was scared.

It led me to some thinking and i got burdened by it. 

After that incident, i never saw them again. I was always bringing some biscuits but i never managed to give it since i couldnt find them anywhere. 

It was a delight on a tuesday morning that i saw them on the steets again. I was so happy i brought some biscuits and handed them over to the mother and her son. I couldn't picture the smile on their faces. Yes, it was only little but they appreciated it a lot.

I told myself that after the boards, i will give them a meal.. As a thank you for showing me hope. Because i always cry over my troubles as being so big that often i get depressed about it, but as i saw them... They carry a bigger burden but they can still find joy in simple things which i already forgot how. Then because of them, hope and joy became alive within my veins again. Thank you God for these wonderful people. How i want to help more like them when i finish the challenge of the board exam.
