When I was about to tell my neighbor that I can’t do it because “I’m too busy” with the household chores, I saw the boy smiling shyly to me. I had compassion for him, I’m not sure why. Maybe because I used to smile like that when I feel so small and I’m trying my best to hide it. So, to cut the story short, I tried to help. It’s a good thing the equations were simple, he’s in sixth grade, by the way.
It’s hard to remember what we discussed that afternoon. As I have said, I was never good in math but I really tried my best to share with him my stock knowledge about x and y. Hehe! After we tried to do his homework, I asked my brother to double check our solutions (bro’s fave subject is math) and … surprise! Out of 10 problems we got 7 correct answers! Not bad 
I’m really glad because I feel like I was able to help in my own little way….
