One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saved a man! Kind of. One night in Big Sur, CA, my sister & I passed an over turned car with the person still in it. We turned around, took our chances with getting murdered, & drove him a few miles up the road to a monastery at the top of a mountain! He was extremely nice & very grateful. He even invited us in for yogurt :D
