Hello!

It was a very nice end of September Tuesday. I went to school by car, as usual, admiring the beautiful blue sky. In class, we usualy say hello to evryone at the begining of the day, but we didn't that day. Instead, I decided to say hello! I went to see evryone, making sure to give them all high-fives. It's...

A McHappy day.

During the summer time, at the metro, I saw a homeless man that wanted something to eat. So I asked my parents for some money to buy him some food.

Lego story

One day when I was in 5th or 6th grade, I was leaving the school computer lab and noticed a random Lego Star Wars clone trooper minifigure outside the classroom.

Wrong Address

Today a stranger knocked on my door holding a letter addressed to my house. This person explained it had been in their post. They lived quite a long way away from our street, but thinking there might have been important information inside had driven over to give it to me. Such a kind act.
