Kindness Starts With One®

A week ago, when I finished with the doctor, I found a cleaner who needed money and food for his children. I gave him money and bought him food, and his children came and hugged me. I felt happy at that time, and since that day, whenever I see someone in need, I help them.

Recently, I helped a classmate who was struggling to understand a difficult assignment. I explained the concepts to them in a different way, and we worked together step-by-step until they could solve it successfully and get a perfect score.
