I think that was an awesome story. One of the most giving people I know is one of my friend's mothers, Ms. Susan. She has given many of my friends a safe haven and she has been an excelent friend to me and she is giving back to the comunity by starting up a teen hangout for everyone since theres not a whole lot of places to go in batesville. She is a very giving and kind person.

My pastor is just like this in that way, he gives people money to help them out and never ask for anything in return.

Someone that is a giving person to me is my grandma. We all call her Nanny. Nanny has been there for my family everytime we needed her. I love and adore her very much. She is also a very giving person. She has donated a lot of money to charites and has also donated money to scholorships. She is my role model.

This story was very sweet! The man in the story reminds me of my grandpa. My grandpa would give his last dollar to someone he's never met in his life. As a deacon at his church, he is always the one to donate food and money to individuals in the community as well as his time. All my life I've looked at him as being the most generous person that I know.

My dad is a giving person. About 4 or 5 years ago he stopped on the side of the road to help someone with a flat tire. He got hit by a drugged up woman who had just got out of jail that day. He survived with a story of a lifetime. Getting hurt might be bad sometimes but he told me that he felt that he saved the people with a flat tire.

That was really sweet how the man bartered with the unfortunate boys, and how the boys after all those years never forgot the kind deeds done for them. That goes to prove that no good deed is ever forgotten and there are good people out in the world. The story makes me want to scatter memmentos through my life. Mrs. Milum is a giving person, she gives education by helping all she can, and she never makes you feel dumb when you are a slow learner.

the person I'm admiring is my mother,no matter how hard I i beg and plead to have her take back money I've borrowed,she won't take it. I'm one of those few people if I borrow sumthing ill pay it bac and if i can then ill give more than i recieved jus cuz of the thought and the thanks.

This story reminds me of my sister. She likes to help people out and doesn't expect anything back in return. She likes to help people out to make their lives easier on them.

My Grandpa is a very giving person he gave me my truck for free and he is always giveing me money . He is a great person.

The man in the story reminds me of ,Beth Holloway. Beth is the mother of ,Natalee Holloway, who has been missing from Aruba since May 2005. Beth has been my mothers best friend since kindergarden. She never gave up looking for her daughter. She was very giving to other people, as she spread Natalee's story and traveled with the words of teens and their safety. Her faith has shown me that the power of faith can give us hope against all odds.
