Have you ever made a difference to other people's lives?

I think that I make a difference in the lives of people every day, because I do a lot of charity work these days. One of the things that I do is to try and get in touch with celebrities and encourage them to support our cause, because they are able to reach more people than we are, and I know that if I was a celebrity I would try to raise as much money as I could for charities. So that is how I make the difference in other people's lives, and it has always been something that I enjoy doing as it is very rewarding for me.

I had a boyfriend before who was driven out of the house by his adoptive parents. He knew he was adopted since he was a kid. I really do not know why they drove him out of their house. I think I was only about 16 years old when that happen. He wanted me to leave him. I think that would be an initial reaction to someone who thinks that everybody else have turned their backs away from him. His adoptive parents called their friends and relatives and told them not to extend help in any way to my brother. I guess, I really loved him so much that I chose to stay with him through that depressing stage in his life. I was in College and yes, because of me being worried about him I would sometimes skip classes just to be sure that he is okay and out of danger. I helped him find temporary homes to stay in. I gave him food and other stuff that he needs. I wasn't earning yet and so the little money that I have from my allowance, I would share it with him. This went on for the next 2 years. My mom found about my failing grades and got mad when he learned about me with this boyfriend. She asked me to live him. I said yes, but I didn't really leave him. After sometime, I felt really pressured to do good in school since I would be in First Year proper in Dentistry the following school year and being always with him most of the time is getting difficult. I have noticed, too that he wasn't doing much in trying to find work to support himself. One day, I told him that I really need to focus on my studies and I could not be with him anymore. I know I broke his heart but in doing that, he made it through College. After 20 years, we had a chance to see each other via Facebook. Then he called me and said that the help I did for him did change his life and became a good foundation for what he is now.

I remember when my assistant was giving up on his studies. I encouraged him not to discontinue. My words were amazing and the guy got admission in his Masters in Business communication. Now he is in his second semester and always reminds me of what I did to him with a great many thanks. Yes I can say I really made a difference to his life for sure.

Yes! I have some friends who were been very shy before, but I noticed that they've changed and turned to be talkative since we became friends. :)

I think I have. I once gave a young girl a room here in my home. She had nowhere to live. I let her stay here 4 months. She then got a job and moved to the city. She calls and emails me everyweek. To thanks me for the help, and see how Im doing. i think I helped change her life.

I have sacrificed lots of time mentoring young people in their teens. Kinda reaping the fruits that have been sown in tears and see how life is working out for them. It's really cool!

It's good sign of humanity! When you are helpless, they helped you and now he got the same from you in his old age. For me, got helped and helped others but not that much of your's.

That was really nice of the old couple.We find very less people of that kind now a days.You should be grateful to them and you are, never should we leave or betray such people. You too have a nice heart. And yes some people doesn't understand the value of education like you mentioned. My parents support the education of some poor people in their village. Some didn't use it ,as they did not know the value of it. But one girl is studying well, she is in her graduation. Hope she does it good.
