Tell Us Your Kindness Story

I went to my friend house whenever she told me everything that happened and how she was super sad about what happened and I told her that is gonna be okay and that we will solve it out and she told her that no matter what happens that we were gonna stick together and I fell down in the mud...

keycard

One time I had to go talk to a teacher about a grade that he put in that was mistaken and it turns out my class had left to go to guidance in a different building and I didn't have a keycard to get in the other building so this girl let me borrow her keycard so I could get...

Help From a Stranger

I was walking down the steps from school, holding plastic bags with items left over from a project. I got about halfway down and tripped, spilling my contents. I tried to get out of the way, grabbing at my things and putting them in the ripped bags. No one helped me at first, someone walked by and mocked "I think...

Random compliments

On two different occasions, a stranger complimented me on the jacket that I was wearing (both were jackets that I had made myself). Even though this happened well over 25 years ago, I still think about it from time to time and remember how good it make me feel.
