On a cold winter day in NY I was waiting for my bus to get home from college. I saw a coffee shop just opposite to the bus stop and thought I would cross the road and sit inside the café. As I was about to cross the road, an old lady called out. “Excuse me can you help me" " Yes, how can I help" I replied instantly. She was old and had a note book in her hand. She passed it over to me and said" I am trying to learn math, can you teach me little bit". So I sat next to her on the bench right on the bus stop, she took out her glasses and opened the book for me. I saw some exercises on addition and subtraction. I told her a how to use her fingers to count which is I guess how I learnt. After a while I asked her to finish couple of them left in the sheet. Once she finished I told her “ very good, you did great “ . She was ecstatic and wondered how she got it all right. She asked if I could help her with the next chapter, I agreed and told her will help her till the bus shows up. In a matter of few minutes we saw a bus coming, she was immediately disappointed and I could not see her so sad so I assured her that I will take the next one. I taught her for some more time and then it started raining. As we parted, she said “when I woke up this morning, I was worried who will help me if I cant go to school but you took my worries away, thank you angel” I gave her a hug and thought to myself “You have more time than you think, no matter how much you think you have to do”. Take the time to help someone whenever you get a chance !
