- Talk about a time you needed someone to help you meet a need.
One time, I was traveling abroad and found myself lost in a foreign city with no way to communicate with the locals or find my way back to my accommodation. I had very limited knowledge of the local language and was feeling incredibly overwhelmed and scared.
I approached a nearby stranger and attempted to explain my situation, but they couldn't understand me. Just when I was about to give up hope, a kind elderly woman approached me and asked if I needed help in fluent English.
I explained my predicament to her, and without a moment's hesitation, she took me under her wing. She guided me to a nearby information booth where we were able to get directions back to my accommodation. Not only that, she also helped me hail a cab and negotiate the fare to make sure I wasn't being taken advantage of.
I was so grateful for her kindness and generosity in helping me meet my need for assistance. Without her help, I would have been stranded in a foreign country with no way to navigate my way back to safety. This experience taught me the importance of being kind and helpful to others in need, as you never know when you might be the one in need of assistance.
