It's just part of my DNA to lift up my fellow brethren and improve theirselfs .

The Proper Use of See, Saw, and Seen
Present Tense: see --
(the action is happening NOW in the present)
Past Tense: saw -- (the action is over)
Everyday I see my neighbor, and everyday he sees me. “I see something lying on the road up ahead.”
Yesterday I saw my neighbor mowing his lawn. Last year, I saw the Super Bowl in person.
Past Participle: seen --
(used with have, has, is, was, will be, had been, etc.)
In the past, I have seen two rainbows in the sky at once.
Before we had seen ten minutes of the movie, the projector broke.
In this film, Tom Hanks is seen as a mad scientist who invents a formula for invisibility
.
Never ever say or write “I seen.”
Say, “I HAVE seen” or “I HAD seen.”
Remember: The word seen must never follow directly after the words I, he, she, we, they, Bob, Mary (any person’s name).
