My Little Brother

Voluntary work is the best thing that you do if u want to make people happy and be friends
with them forever.

For this reason ,I’ve decide to take my little brother to his school when he misses his bus to school .So, I felt very happy because I want to learn responsibility by helping out with
chores and have a good deed in my life that make my parents thank me very much.

Positive work

Maybe I’m a normal girl but I’m very proud of my self very much

because I had a positive work that I did it years ago .

volunteer to help my friends in my school who they didn’t use
the computer very well. Although I got tired but I knew

that “after every effort you should find a successful result “

A Smile

At the museum

It was so beautiful the jewelry

That once belonged

To Tut Anc Amon

Watching them I stood

And at them I had a look

As I was amazed by them

I felt wind

I looked a way from them

nd turned my sight back round,
looked down

There were wheels…

For a chair!!!

I stepped back,

Gave a room for the woman,

Pointed her to go forward.

“See the treasurers of Tut Anc
Amon”

She nodded her head thank you,

And she smiled.

At that moment, her smile was
worth

Much more than the jewels of Tut
Anc Amon.

A Test

A human being usually finds
happiness when he gives and not when he takes.

Good work is like fresh water
which irrigates the trees of our life to help them bloom and give fruits.

The note book of my friend had
been lost, and we had a test on the next day.

She looked for it until she got
tired, and the happiness was seen on her face.

“What bad luck??!” she wondered

Actually studying from the book
is difficult and takes a lot of time.

So I decided to help her, but how
could I? I thought and I used my scanner to scan the papers of the note book,
then I sent them by e-mail to her.

Although I worked hard and it
took me a lot of time to do it but I was very happy.

I phoned my friend and asker her
to check her e-mail to print the attached papers. My friend was very happy.

I’ll never forget her voice when
she thanked me from the bottom of her heart.

This is a good thing that I finally found in my life: My Grandma

A few years ago, my grandmother had an operation .She was very tired and needed someone to
stand by her.My mother was busy .so she asked me to stay with her to help and give her the medicines. To be honest I didn’t accept to do this at first because I thought I’d be very bored there.but then I blamed my self for thinking in this selfish way .So I did as my mom said to me . I stayed with her, took care of her and did everything around the house. actually, I didn’t feel bored as I thought on the contrary I felt very happy and proud of this human job.

Old Woman’s Smile

One day , while I was crossing a
wide street , there was an old woman .That woman ,also, was crossing the street
hardly .I looked at her and thought that it’s my duty to help her to hand her
and cross the street together .Truly , It was a moment of being a human being .
It was a moment of being happy. The woman’s smile, the woman’s face, the woman’s
eyes, all of them made me feel that I am a Man . Her smile was the key which has
been engraved in my mind forever. Allah asks us to back little and old people.
One day, we need others to lead and back us……..!!!

A Little Kitten

It was very cold outside. Snow was falling so heavily. As I was standing by the window . I heard something I looked , but I wasn’t able to see a thing. So I put my coat on and went down I looked carefully inside the bushes and it was a small kitten. I hold it and went back upstairs it was so wet I had to use a hairdryer to dry it, however when I tried to feed her she was so weak that she could not eat anything, after the storm calmed down I took it to the vet, and he gave her a medication and I took quite good care of her. After a couple of days she turned just fine. I was thrilled because of that. I wanted to keep it but my brother have an allergy of cats, however my grandfather owns a farm I took her there and I visit it every week. I know that was something very simple but it made me feel so great I would love to have the chance to do it again..

From Her Heart to Mine

A few days ago, I saw an old woman in the street she was carrying a very big bag, actually, I wondered how she could carry it so I ran to her and asked if I could help her. First she
said ,no I am all right, I can carry this by myself, thank you. I told her that it was okay but after a few seconds, she said “ok you can help me my dear”, “Sure” I said happily.

I helped her to carry the bag but the most exciting thing was that when we reached her house, she gave me a small candy, it was very delicious it was more delicious than any thing I had
ever tasted it in my life ,because it came from heart to heart .

A Lost Little Girl

One day while I was walking in the street, I saw a little girl, the girl was crying loudly and she was shouting “mom, mom”. She was only four years old. She was as innocent as a little fresh
flower. I came close to her and carried her, “poor child!!” I wondered. “you don’t have to worry, sure we’ll find your mother ” I thought that feeling safe was the only thing that the girl really needed. I decided to stay with that pitiful child because I was sure that her Mom would return there to look for
her.

I stayed with for half an hour, then suddenly, I heard the girl shouting “mom, mom”.

Her mom came close to us and thanked me for staying with her all that time. “Thank God, I’m grateful to you!” the mother said. She glanced up at me with a big smile. The little girl’s eyes
were so full of joy and relief that I will never forget them.

GuESs wHaT……?
……. I’M DR PHIL just this once !

All of us has bad times in life ,some of us can survive and keep going normally, others can’t and continue giving up to all bad things , some of those people are strong enough to wake up
before the zero level , the others we know what would happen to them .

I will tell you a story about a girl I know .she was very active girl cool and all this staff.

After years I started to notice that her eyes had become really cold, they no longer had any feelings, she started to be a different person, she became depressed for some reason that
i didn’t know, she was going through a bad situation.

I thought that I had to help her, (actually I hate acting like Dr Phil but I was pushed to do it)

I couldn’t watch her fading out without doing any thing to her ,so I started to talk to her. At the beginning, she refused to say anything but then she let it out. I tried to give her a
helping hand to start over and ears to listen until she was again the girl we all know.

I can’t tell you how I felt that time, it was a feeling of indescribable happiness. Honest friends are real gifts!

you know …. it’s fine to be dr Phil
