In the city of Irvine lives a community of affluent people who bathe in luxury and lavishness. Twenty minutes away in the city of Santa Ana gathers a crowd of needy, underprivileged people waiting in line to be provided the basic life necessities. Between this social division is me, a seventeen-year-old girl from a middle class family with a yearning desire to break the invisible wall separating the rich and poor.
Blessed with more than enough, I withhold the duty, the responsibility, and the burden to reach out to those in need. This Thanksgiving break, I joined with my church to make 300 bags of sack lunch to hand out. And every Sunday morning at seven 'clock, I visit the homeless with a trunk full of food, socks, and blankets. Though my service only temporarily benefits them, I find happiness in it. In sharing my compassion, my life becomes more meaningful and worthwhile.
