I am really impressed by Rebecca’s willingness to serve anyone and everyone that she meets. She not only gave to the man who was traveling to drink from her pitcher but she went to get water for his camels as well. This shows humility and it is something that everyone should look for in a spouse. I want to strive to be someone that everyone knows as a virtuous and charitable.  (136)
