Just One More Chance

Eddie sat on the hard wet bench waiting for someone to toss a coin in his hat. Winter has come, yet he has nowhere to go. He only has a thin coat and a ragged blanket to keep his body warm.

   When Eddie was young, he didn’t study hard. He would hang out with his friends and play all day. After many years, he became what he has become now.

 “I just need another chance” Eddie said to himself. He thinks if he really gets another chance. He would work hard and get a job. Just that moment, Eddie saw a flyer on the ground. He picked it up with curiosity. He saw three big words in pink that said: Heart Home Charity also known as the HHC.

Eddie walked to the Heart Home Charity center and asked for help. The counter lady smiled at him and said that they could give a place for him to live right in this center. Eddie was very happy that he could get proper food and clothes, but the best of all, the HHC also gives these homeless people education. Even though these homeless can only eat bread and soup for meals, but to Eddie, this was the chance he had been waiting for.

Eddie listened carefully to the teacher’s words. He read his textbook over and over. Then he went to the HHC’s job center. He wanted a job so he could live properly by his own ability. He thought that he should at least get an easy job, such as a car washer. But to his surprise, he got a job as a teacher!

From that day on, he spent his day in the school near the HHC center. Teaching and passing his intelligence and love on to other people in the world.
