At 14, I often went hungry at school, until a kind teacher quietly began bringing me lunch every day.
Ten years later, I became a lawyer and unexpectedly met her again when she needed legal help after being betrayed by her husband.
Remembering her kindness, I took her case for free and fought to recover the savings she had lost.
We won, and when she thanked me for saving her, I simply said, “I’m only repaying a debt.”
