We are all human.

Life is a daily walk with struggles and hardships sometimes we don't understand why? I have always loved life and helping others, you could say my heart is filled with a ton of love." Since I was a child I longed for love from a mother and a father..well let me just say a family." I would see families out and doing things together and mothers laughing with their daughters." Special bond is what I call it." One day I remember being somewhere with my grandmother in town. It was at a grocery store picking up some much needed things for the pantry." I will never forget that day while standing in line with my grandmother to pay for the groceries.' A small child was crying, crying and crying so loud at the mother till she slapped the small girl across the face." I was shocked to see this kind of punishment." I noticed the child's mouth was bleeding but no one did anything about it. The mother of the child just looked straight ahead as nothing had happened." The child stopped crying but I could still hear her wimper." However it was none of my business, I was told to stop staring and move along as my grandmother carried her one brown bag to the car." I watched the child and her mother hurry to the car and un-load all the bags of groceries out of their buggy." I was only seven years old but I knew what happened to that child was not right." My grandmother yanked my hand and told me to get into the car." I remember jerking my small hand lose from grandmothers and running toward the lady who had slapped her child. All I remember my legs were shaking and knees were knocking together." I stopped right in front of the lady." She looked at me and asked what did I want. I remember rambling on and on about she should'nt hit her child so hard to make her bleed." How dare you said the woman. She gave me a scary look and told me to get the he** out of her face." My mind went blank but in the distance I could hear my grandmother's voice yelling." It was only seconds my grandmother was standing beside me." She told the lady she was sorry for the way I acted and reassured her I was getting a whipping when I got home. We loaded up in the car and drove off. I was in the back seat staring out the back window and again I caught a glimpse of the lady giving the child another slap to the back of the head." It was on that day I told my self I had to help others who were being mistreated and it was then I decieded to become a social worker or advoate for mistreated children.' I never had a perfect life being raised without my mom and my dad died with cancer while I was young." We are all human and no matter what if you have a heart and a good one at that then you will care for others and what happens." We are all human." I'm only human but I stood up that day for what I believed was right." Yeah, just to let you know I did get that whipping but maybe I deserved it but it was worth it."
