13．One night when I was in the second grade，I saw something on the news that really bothered me．It was about a group of homeless people sleeping outside in the cold，with nowhere to go for warmth and comfort．
So I decided to start a club，whose goal was to raise money to help the homeless．I called it the Rock Club．When I first started，we only had about five members，but that quickly grew to about twenty．I hardly had to ask anybody if they wanted to be a member．In fact，they came up to me and just asked me if they could join!
We spent all of our free time painting rocks．We painted animals，flowers and shapes-even the names of sports teams．We'd go around the school in search of teachers who would buy our rocks．By Christmas，we had raised thirty-three dollars and then we decided to give the money to a local homeless shelter．
As we were leaving the homeless shelter，I saw a man sitting on the snow-covered street．He was wearing a dirty coat and black pants that were covered with mud．He was holding a Christmas tree covered with red decorations．I felt so sorry for him because he had nowhere else to put a tree except the streets where he lived．
A few days later，a newspaper reporter and a photographer came to our school and took a picture of our Rock Club members．The photo and article came out in the paper the next day．We all felt proud that we had done something that gave more attention to the needs of the homeless in our town．Our school decided to start a program just for kids to help the homeless shelter．
Something as simple as some rocks，some paintings and a few caring kids made me realize that you're never too young and that you don't need much to make a difference．
