Question 15:

Dear Sam,

How are you these days? I’ve been tired, but in a good way.

a. Our school recently launched a "service hours" pilot program — that's how I ended up at a local food bank one Thursday after class.

b. Honestly, I expected most of us to just rush through it; a few classmates even joked openly about getting the hours over with as quickly as possible.

c. Everything shifted when the coordinator gently asked a small group of us to sit with an elderly man who had come alone to collect his weekly supplies.

d. He barely mentioned the food — instead, he said that having someone to talk to mattered more than the boxes in his bag, and that simple line has stayed with me ever since.

e. That moment changed how I see service: without genuine connection and a chance to reflect, it risks becoming nothing more than a number checked off on a piece of paper.

Take care,

Linh
