【题文】In my professional life I am fortunate to have acquired some skills that I find I am able to use even though I’ve retired.
Last week while at church in the morning,I met a
that had just moved to our state. Unfortunately they were robbed shortly after their
.and had the valuable belongings with all their
papers stolen.A very kind person in the neighborhood had
them in,but the family had very little
,no transportation,and no
to enroll(注册)their son in school without the paperwork.
Enrolling that little boy in school
to be the highest priority for the family. But the school district was playing hardball with them with no
for them.They had gone to the library to
how to replace this paperwork,but they found they could not
the fees to replace the items quickly.
Because of my background as a(n)
administrator and my computer skills,I was able to research for them online how to
.the needed documents at low cost with only a slight delay.I was able to speak with them
and positively about the process and explain that waiting the few
days would make very little
in getting their little guy enrolled and attending school again.They told me they
my taking the time to sit down with them and help them see the“forest for the trees”,for they had felt
with what initially had seemed the impossibility of their situation.
Taking the time to
my skills and “be present’’ with them had truly helped them regain some of the
they had come to our city with when they moved—
a better 1ife.
