to die for.

10. If I were Juls, helping would definitely come in my mind first especially knowing that I am
capable of doing such. I have the privilege that other people don’t, so I feel like I have to give
back to those who are unfortunate in life and make a small difference by doing simple acts. And
helping people is imporant because it’s good to do good deeds for other may it be small or big.
