Thank you!!!
Both of them last night kept saying things like, "I met this woman in Texas.. and she said, 'Please help me get a job,'" and, "I met this man in Connecticut... he said, "'I can't afford healthcare for my kids.'"
Wow. Cool story.
If you had a personal experience that really moved you and you feel compelled to tell the story, then that's fine. But simply saying some guy walked up to you and said he's struggling.. well.. duh. That doesn't make you a compassionate person.. it sounds more like you just made something up on the fly.
