Summary: Rachel Castillo

Rachel Castillo is a women who works in a Miami Gold Course and one day she found a bag on a bench with thousands of dollars but she didn’t care because she turn the money to the police and they found the owner of the money he was 76 years old.

When I saw this video of Myles it really touched me because it was really nice of his part to do that, not anybody would but he did. It is sad that he couldn’t have is dad with him to grow up and play with, I wouldn’t see myself going thru something like that.

Tana and Christian

Watching this video about Tana and Christian made me realize that not all people are bad it was really brave of Christian to do what we did because he didn’t know tana was going to react when he was going to tell his that the one that did bad to her and her husband was his dad. Christian has a big heart and apologize for something his dad did sometimes it’s true you don’t turn out to be like your parents, your parents raise you but they don’t tell you who to be. I think that it was nice in Tana’s part to let Christian keep they money for his band trip he really wanted to go and he returned the money to Tana But Tana returned it back was really kind. I think they should be more people like that in this world because there is some bad people here. This was really inspiring and I would choose right from wrong now on.
