When I was young, I visited my grandfather every week. We chatted and spent time together. He called my visits an “act of kindness.” I didn’t understand the phrase at the time, but now I see he meant our time together was important to him. Not everyone makes time to talk to family. I want to write about other acts of kindness I have seen.
An act of kindness I want to share was one I saw between strangers. A young woman was walking down the road with her baby in a stroller. It was raining, and her umbrella broke. A group of teenage boys were walking past her, and one of them stopped next to her. He offered to help. The woman looked surprised. She gave him the umbrella, and he repaired it.
Then she said, “I hope my son grows up to be like you one day!”
My favorite act of kindness was one towards me. It was my first day at a new job, and I was very nervous. I sat down at my desk and opened my bag. There was a note from my roommate:
You’re awesome, and you’ll do great!
I felt less worried after reading the note. I had a great day, and I still work at that job! The note encouraged me to try my best at the job.
So, what have I learned? I learned that acts of kindness don’t have to be expensive or big. They can be as simple as a smile or a high five. Even little things like this can have a big effect on people. So next time you want to improve somebody’s day, remember that it can be easy to do.
