The person who I respect
by Natali Zmeu

This summera lot of things happened to me. I came to the USA for work and trawel. I received a work contract in a small but very nice town, on the ocean side. There were very nice hotels with casinos, and restaurants. That was all that I had know. Yes, it was my faul, I didn`t inform myself more about it, because I didn`t have time for this.
When I arrived in New York I needed to wait for another plane to go to Atlanta. In the Airport I watched on TV some news. I saw that my nice town with hotels, reastaurants, casinos, was destroyed by Hurricaine Katrine, and I saw some terrible photos. I was shocked, I thought about what to do, I was alone. I didn`t want to go there, but I needed because it was too late, I didn`t know another place. I sat in the plane and all the way I prayed to God to help me. I was so scared and tired. May be there the situation was better, but I couldn`t think of something good.
When I arrived in Atlanta I asked the person who stayed near me if she knew where I could take a bus to that town. She asked me "where?". I told her the place one more time. Then she looked at me strangle, asking me why I had wanted to go there. I explained the situation, I told her my whole story and then she asked me if I wanted to go with her. Without thinking, I answered " Yes". I was very happy, I didn`t think badly about this person, I accepted to go with her without scared. It was an important decision for me and for her, We didn`t know each other. I decidet to go thinking that so I protected myself. Now I can say that I respect this person very much. She helped me a lot. She was near me when I was sad and when I was happy. She is from New York, I came with her here. I lived in her house a long time. She encouraged me a lot when I couldn`t find a job. She always said me "let think positive","one door closes and 5 open". I went to the College with her help, She was very happy when I found a job. I respect this person a lot and I think that she saved my life. I wish one day I can be like my savior that I can save somebody`s life, or change it, as this person changed nime.

New Yorkers' reputation for coldness is undeserved.
