A Small Act That Meant a Lot
One day at school, I noticed a student from my class sitting alone during lunch. Everyone else was talking and laughing with their friends, but they were quietly eating by themselves. They looked sad and uncomfortable, and it reminded me of how lonely school can sometimes feel.
At first, I wasn't sure what to do because I didn't know them very well. But I decided that I would feel better if someone invited me, so I walked over and asked if they wanted to sit with my friends and me. They hesitated for a moment, but then they nodded and followed me to our table.
As we talked, I learned that they were new and still trying to make friends. My friends included them in our conversation, and soon they were smiling and laughing too. By the end of lunch, they thanked me and said it made their day much better.
That moment taught me that kindness doesn't have to be loud or complicated.
Sometimes, one small action can help someone feel accepted and valued. I learned that choosing to be kind can change someone's day-and it can even change yours too.
