#16- Hamper helpers.
Going into this I had a bit of a rotten attitude. To be quite honest i knew it was going to be heavy lifting and thats the only negative thought I had about it. But once I got there and stepped in the room I was actually in awe at how many faces were there. Faces i've never seen before and some that I actually knew. It shocked me but once I saw the amount of people who were in a spot they didn't want to be in for the holidays I knew that if I helped them out just a bit... it would brighten up there holiday or atleast there day. I truly believe I helped out alot. I was always grabbing boxes or bags. I love doing things like this, just helping someone. It made me happier each time I went out to there car to put a bag full of presents in or a box full of food because they always had the biggest smile on there face no matter what. Some people who first came in to register there names didn't seem quite happy. I think the reason for that was because maybe they didn't want to be seen there because they didn't want others to look down on them. But I say, it doesn't matter where you from or how much you have, your still the same as everyone else. I loved doing this and I think it was such a great experience for all of us because it probally made all of us realize how greatful we should be for what we have. I know thats what it made me feel and I also feel that it was a great start to the holiday I actually couldn't of done anything better to put me in a greater mood. So thanks Mr. T for letting us have the experience!
