love is simple You don t have to do much to make someone happy That was what my mother said to me when I was a child Over a year ago I had a chance My good friend Kaylee told me about her t to a small town called Gary and how it was a life changing experience I made up my mind to go there myself When I told my parents about the decision they didn t a at first They said I didn t know much about the place They were worried that it was not s for me to go there Thankfully after I explained my plan to them in detail they said yes When our group arrived in Gary I noticed how different the town was from where I lived There were few stores or restaurants in the town most had closed So you would be very l if you could find a place to buy food or drinks Houses were built on small hills Many of them had broken doors or windows My job was to help the local people to r houses The work days were long and hot but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day The children there were also different They seemed to enjoy every moment in life though they were poor The smallest things would make these kids happy I couldn t find words to describe their j when they received an ice cream a ball or even a kiss The community was like a big family Everyone knew each other and was there when someone needed help I am so glad that I had this unforgetable experience I truly learned the
