"Hay now don't you run away from that. That is just a few scrapes on your arms. It may seem like it would discourage you but ask youself this, would it be better to never try and always be safe until you are not, or to try and see what may favor you at the cost of a scuffle."
"I have plenty of scratches like that collected over years of a life well lived. If you wish to keep going you will have to get back up, now I know it is hard but if you do not you will never advance in life."
"There will come a day when you no longer have the strength to stand once more and you will have to rely on others to lift your body. To see you and just be kind for the sake of kindness."
"It is why you should remain humble in your endevors but always seek to better yourself and dont you worry, you will go on to do great things if you keep trying!"
"This is how I helped a child to stand up when she had no one. Her parents had kicked her out with barely even the clothes on her back."

It was 1990 something and the decade was just getting into full swing. The people were just starting to really define how the decade would be looked back on for the future generations. Those that cared did so but even still there were those that didn't care for their own family.
I was walking back from downtown when I came across a girl half naked and crying in an ally way. I stoped to ask her what was wrong and she told me she had been kicked out of her home, poor thing couldn't have been older then 16 and there she sat in the garbage with the only things she had to her name.
I told her to wait there after giving her my shirt to cover up with. Walking down to the store and buying her some clothes to wear I decided to then take her to the store to let her find what ever she wanted.
That young woman tried to pay me back for my kindness countless times after that and to this day she still tries but I have told her time and time again that the only way I would accept it is if she could not find someone who needed it more. She has to this day not paid me back what I spent on her that day but she has helped countless people sense then.
She just needed a chance to do good and someone to show her the way forward while she was stuck in the dark.
