When I was young, I belonged to aclub that did community service work. There was one specific event that wasunusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to thehomeless out in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter not farfrom the Bay Bridge.

   I was in high schooland at the time my sister was too young to __36__. She wanted to help, __37__ she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to__38__ and hand out to people. When getting to the homeless shelter __39__passed out the remaining meals. __40__, I began making sandwiches and __41__them with the crowd. I had the containers with my __42__ cookies in them andbegan to __43__, offering them to anyone near me.

I __44__ an old gentleman and said, “sir,would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around,__45__ and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?”I told him I __46__, and his eyes __47__ a little bit and he said, “No one has __48__ called me sir.”So he was __49__ taken aback(意外). It struck me.

I explained I had been raisedthat__ 50__color and social status,everyone deserved respect. It __51__ me to think that just because hewas homeless, no one__ 52__ him the honor. It broke myheart, and I __53__. I just didn’t understand__ 54__ no one ever called him sir. I had never thought thatanyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every __55__person deserves to be treated with dignity. Years later, I still carry thatmemory and the lessons it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted canreally make a difference in someone’s life.
