When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific
__16_ that was unusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to
17 . She wanted to help,
18 she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to
19 and hand out to people. When
_20_ to the homeless shelter, I passed out the
_21_ meals. I began making sandwiches and

23 cookies in them and began to

I explained I had been raised that

32 him the honor. It broke my heart. I just didn’t understand
33 no one ever called him sir? I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every
34 person deserves to be treated with respect. Years later, I still carry that memory and the
__35__ it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can really make a difference in someone’s life.
