A few years ago ,I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C. I saw many of our nation's treasures, and I also saw a lot of our fellow citizens on the street unfortunate ones, like panhandlers and homeless folks. Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center,I heard a voice say,"Can you help me?When I turned around, I reached in to my pocket, pulled out all my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said ,"I don't want your money. I just need help finding the post office." In an instant, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice-I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself . This incident re-awakened my core belief.
