A Creative Writing on an Interview with Joseph About His Charitable Acts

A Creative Writing on an Interview with Joseph About His Charitable Acts This is an interview with Joseph on October 21, 2021. Joseph has spent the past 3 years helping the homeless with whatever he can, from donating non perishable goods to thousands of dollars. His charitable acts have become publicized when he was caught on camera handing out over fifty bagged meals to the homeless in Los Angeles. He has been recruited by Society First CA for this in depth interview at Society First CA’s headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles. I think it all started when I visited Los Angeles when I was 16 years old. Everywhere I looked, there was someone begging for help, whether it’s food or money. I hated the sight. Not the sight of the homeless themselves but the sight of the fortunate ignoring the unfortunate. It was saddening that a fellow human being would ignore another just because of their social status and their wealth. I saw the disgust within the faces of those passing by and my heart broke. That’s when I decided to donate at least $5 to any homeless I see every day. I actually saw your charitable act myself a few years back myself. I was surprised that a teenager would give their own money to someone less fortunate, especially in this generation. It left an impression in my mind. Thank you! While my motive for helping out the homeless isn’t to gain attention but any publication which shows the current situation of the homeless helps. I’m trying to bring attention to the homeless problem within L.A. right now, as it is a big problem, but I want to help everywhere I can. And if my actions left an impression within you, maybe you can help out too (laugh). I would love to (laugh). Have you been doing anything else to help out with the homeless situation? I actually help out at the nearby soup kitchen. When I have extra money, I often go to the local supermarket and buy non-perishable food to donate. Then I go to the kitchen and help out with the cooking. Although this may not be much, some of the homeless haven’t had hot food in several days. The warmth they give when they receive their food fills my heart. It really makes me understand how privileged I am to be able to have hot food every day and a roof over my head. How long do you plan to continue your humanitarian works? I don’t plan to stop any time soon. In fact, I don’t want to stop. I believe that if you do good works the good works will come back to you. If I suddenly became homeless, I wouldn’t want to be ignored and stay helpless. I would want hot food to warm myself when it’s cold. I would want a roof over my head. I hope that my good works will be reciprocated and that the homeless can flip their lives around and help others. In fact, I actually want to try making a non-profit corporation devoted to helping out the homeless and the less fortunate. However, until that happens, I plan to continue to donate to charity and give to the homeless. This genre is for the Improve society #1 of my bucket list. I chose the genre of an interview because I felt that this genre would be the most effective way to show my motive for helping out at homeless shelter. This genre is important to my bucket list because I have always had a heart for the unfortunate people who are victims of circumstances which they could not control. Additionally, I have seen so many people who ignore the homeless and it breaks my heart when I see that happen. I used a basic outline of an interview, having the interviewer ask me a question and lead the conversation from the response. I mainly focused on the humanitarian aspect of my motive to help the homeless. I used a casual tone instead of a professional to make the interview more intimate and honest. To create the interview itself, I imagined myself actually being asked these questions and responded to it. While I may be able to help out the homeless, I feel that this wouldn’t have an impact if it was not shared. I want others to be aware of the homeless problem within society and that we have an obligation to help a fellow human being. Many are afraid of the homeless or believe that the money we give will be used for other purposes. However, if we are to show love and be altruistic, I believe in the natural human goodness within everyone and believe that the homeless can have a change.
