chinhnguyen7 2 / 3 Apr 27, 2009 #1Thank you, Kevin.Visiting Hoa Sen charity shelter left an indelible mark on my memory. I had the chance to meet and give encouraging gifts to orphaned children. Seeing their tears dropped while they told tragic stories before being adopt into the shelter, I felt and a blend of sad and resentment rose in me, sad for their lives, and resentment against myself for not having noticed such unfortunate people before. Joining a hand in helping the children reduce what they had suffered made me really happy. Indeed the visit gave me a very important lesson - the lesson of giving cares to other people.I think that the short essay above is quite wordy. What is your opinion?
