I remember when I was on 1st Grade. There is a moment when someone go into our classroom and ask for some donations to some Charity or Orphanage for Children. Though I am 6 years old that time. I gave my two pesos and my two candy on my pocket that I really love. But the collector of Donations who is my classmate refuses to recieve my candy. I already know why he refuse it, because my teacher told him so. Also Maybe it's because it was nothing. But when I gave my candy to them, I am sincere. I know that the Charity or Orphanage is for the children so as a child I think on that moment that "This candy is one of my favorite, probably the children will love this too as much as I do. Even though this is the only candy that left it's fine. My Papa are going to buy me a bucket of these." But they refuse, they even throw me the candy harshly I just laughed though I am really embrassed that time.
As I grew up, I think of that Moment and the I came to realize that. Yes they refuse it, because it is indeed nothing. BUT! What if someone really love that candy too. Maybe it could make them smile. I know anyone are not really obsess with that candy because it is sour and is sweet too. But what if there is also a child who wanted those candies? Maybe I could make them smile?
And then on that young age it is my way of helping people. Right now that I am a teenager, I also realize that....that moment of my life will really teach me a lesson:
"People refuse our help without even trying to have it, just because it's nothing. Also it is indeed so little, that It just came out nothing. But there is nothing worst than don't give something when you do have everything!"
And a question leave out into my mind
"Why refuse some help if it can give you like, 0.99% help?"
I don't blame the charity for refusing my gift. It's my worst teacher of all time and her judgement about things so easily and my classmate who just threw me the candy that I love.
