rachel and the money

I honestly feel like what Rachel did was really great. She didn’t even think twice about the money she called the police immediately and they found the owner of the money. The man whom the money belonged to is very ill and was maybe in need of the $36,000 that Rachel had found. She believes in the bible, and she knows that a higher power will take care of her for doing the right thing. Since she was a child, she was taught to not steal or take what wasn’t hers. She is an incredible woman whom should be looked up to. 

Miles

The story was about a little boy named Miles whom found a 20 dollar bill in the parking lot of the restaurant he was going to. When he found it, he also saw that a soldier was in that same restaurant. Miles decided to give him the 20 dollar bill because the Soldier reminded Miles of his dad who had passed away when Miles was 5 weeks old. Miles dad was also a soldier.  The soldier was very shocked and he didn't know something like that could hit him so hard in an emotional sense. The soldier reads the note that the little boy gave him every day.
