I would like to tell you a story about myself. It was a cold January night when I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. Tired, I almost had no time to relax. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. I said to myself, “It is time to say goodbye.” City life had become too much for me. I had expected to realize my dreams in such a big city but it seemed that I was abandoned. No one noticed me and no one cared for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small. It was freezing cold with wind blowing wildly. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from some possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. In spite of this, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Inside the wallet was the money that I depended on to pay for the rent this month. Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. What I desperately wanted was my missing wallet, my precious wallet, without which I couldn’t cover my expenses.
