When I was fifteen years old,I became very interested in shopping. 23 I had many things that I no longer needed at home. I knew with the help of my father, I could make money. For months and months I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s bank account.
On July 18th, 2015, I made my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around the house wasn’t enough for me. 24 I went around to the yard sale and bought things at low prices and sold them at higher prices to make money.
Last October, I went to a yard sale that was a little bit different. A lady had many nice things to sell. 25 Through the communication, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to feed her family. I thought I could do it better and more quickly for her. So I made up my mind to help her out. She looked at me for a while and then said yes. 26 When I gave her the money, she broke down into tears thankfully.
27 I know my skills could be used to help those in need and that even one small act of kindness could make a difference.
