258 Words2 Pages
I personally did really worthy deeds. From openhanded to the less fortunate. To feed the homeless. But the most I have ever done was helping out the evacuees during a natural disaster. Hurricane Mathew had hit Augusta hard. It flooded everything, houses, stores, everything. It was cold, so cold it was impossible to go outside without having tons of clothes on. It was a category 4 nothing was left standing not even one little bush. The people were not prepared for this disaster. They overlooked the news, and alerts. Some were homeless with tons of kids. Some had no transportation it was HORRIBLE! We provided them with everything they needed. Wardrobes for all ages (it was a jumble). Walmart reinforced by giving blankets and head rest. Also

I think that for someone to think about the hierarchy, and where people are placed is how I would want to would want to see the world. If someone thinks that deeply about how society works and the people in it I would want to be like that person.

Texting, one of the newest forms of communication technology, has grown in popularity tremendously over the past ten years. Growing an astonishing 450% from 2006 to 2008 according to Neilson Mobile (Cnet). The text-language that has developed over that past ten years can easily cause a passionate difference of opinion.

Having to wait in line for so much time created a lot of chaos. A couple of people got beaten up for cutting line and many people lost their gasoline containers because thieves stole them.
