Once when my teenage girl neighbor was walking home from school and got locked out of her house. Nobody was home, so she could not get in. I did not know her but I still helped her by getting a ladder from my garage. Then she climbed up to her balcony door that was unlocked.

My mother was having a hard time folding up the clean laundry. She had been at it for half an hour, so I helped her fold them up and roll up the socks. The clean laundry pile was gone in five minutes.

When I was in a market, a blind man could not find the shopping baskets, so I led him to them. I also showed him where the dairy aisle was since he needed yogurt.

When my father was all tired out, he was feeling weary, I made him feel better by giving him a massage.

Once I had two old sweatshirts in the car while I was driving by an East Palo Alto donation building so I dropped them of.
