In my hometown, people don't have a lot of extra money to spend. Most children have the bare minimum of what they need. A large majority of my community is Hispanic and football is a very big part of the high school level. Every little boy grows up wanting to play for the high school team. I was at home visiting friends when we decided to go to the soccer field. We had been filming for about half an hour when some younger boys arrived. I didn't know them but my friends knew them. We toured with them and played a few World Cup matches. That's when I noticed one of the boys had holes in his cleats. It was getting dark and the boys said they had to go home. After they left, I asked my friends about the boy with holes in his cleats. They said her family was new to the area and didn't have much money. I learned that the boy's name was Guillermo. I was amazed at how good Guillermo was at soccer without playing for a club team. Most people don't know that football is an expensive sport. I got home and couldn't help but think about Guillermo and his crampons. The next day I decided to go buy new crampons from Guillermo. The only problem was that I didn't know what size to get. I called my friends and told them what I wanted to do, they thought it was a good idea and wanted to help me. A friend of mine knew the family and asked if Guillermo wanted to come with us to Salem. We brought his little brother with us so it wouldn't be weird. We took Guillermo to Dicks sporting goods store. I told Guillermo to pick out the new cleats he wanted, his eyes got big and he had the biggest smile on his face. I told him he couldn't make the high school team with holes in his cleats. He tried at least five pairs of keys... middle of paper ... sorry, that makes all the difference to me. I like to think that my friends and I also taught Guillermo the kindness of strangers. Our community is very close and I would like to think that we made Guillermo feel more comfortable. This experience learning popcorn theory had a major impact on the way I view helping people. I can do simple things to help people and you never know what impact you can have on someone else. In the future, I plan to help as many people as possible. Above all, I intend to continue to help Guillermo. I believe Guillermo has a very bright future and I want to help him realize that there is more to life than our city. That it’s not enough to finish high school and go work for a cannery or a lumberyard. He has so many possibilities playing football. He could build a better life for himself and his family.
