I have been tutoring English as a Second Language to adult Central American immigrants for several months, and it has been an absolutely incredible experience.  One story sticks out in my mind in particular.

A few months ago, I was going over the word "have" with the individual that I tutor.  To give a few examples, I said, "I have clothing.  I have a book.  I have a pencil..."  Then I asked the individual I was working with, "What do you have?"  He paused.  At first, I thought that he didn't understand the word, but then I realized he was thinking.  Finally, he responded, "I have my life.  That's all I have."

And I suddenly realized how much I, as a college student, take advantage of going about my everyday life that so many other people can only dream of having.
