Suddenly my life doesn't look so bad!!!!
When you hear about other people and just how bad they have it suddenly all your problems seem like a holiday. There's this guy at work he is so sweet and nice. Around Christmas time they were asking for donations at work. When they came up to me I was like " Sorry I don't have cash but I have a credit card." My manager Liz was like its kewl thanks anyway. So I asked what do you need money for and when she explained to me my heart dropped. She had told me that Koffi the guy I was talking about in the beginning was having a hard time supporting his family and newborn baby. I was going on my break and I went upstairs to get my wallet to buy some candy. I bought 2 Mr GoOdBaRs and a bottle of water and took out 10 bucks to put in the card for Koffi. I gave the money to Liz and went upstairs. I was going to my locker and I saw Koffi he was sitting on the sofa. I could feel him staring me from the corner of my eye. I offered him one of the candy bars and he said yes. When I walked over to him and I saw the smile on his face it made me wanna cry. The other day at work Elsa a lady from work was taking donations again for him. She told me that Koffi's newborn son just had surgery on his neck and they wanted to help him out. Koffi was bagging for me when the manager told him he had a phone call from the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). He must have been on the phone for about 25 minutes. When he was done he looked so sad. I asked him if everything was ok and he sadly shook his head Yes. A tear came to my eye I wanted to cry for him. I could tell he was hiding the pain and sadness I just want to give him a hug and tell him everything is gonna be ok, but I couldn't all I could do is look at him all sad. It made me realize that other people out in the world have worse problems then I do. Hearing what he is going threw makes my life look like a walk in the park.........It makes me want to cry after saying that.
