Taxes

So this one time I went to the store to get an Xbox live gift card and I forgot taxes was a thing so when I got it and went to the cash register I didn't have enough money but then the cashier buys the whole gift card for me and when I got older I found him and we...

Kindness Story

One person who really inspires me is my mom. She really inspires me to work hard, and to succeed in life. That's what I really love about my mom. She's the best.

Full Circle

Everyday I do a random act of kindness but one particular day I went to visit my long time friend and I decided to share my story that I share with students in the classroom with her. I brought a beautifully wrapped gift for my friend to open after I finished the story. The items inside the wrapped gift went...

My Coworker's Selflessness

A recent time I have experienced someone else demonstrating a random act of kindness was in my workplace. One time a customer came up to me and was asking for the manager of my department.

Shopping

Something I was taught and have carried on doing is letting people at the supermarket with baskets go before me when I have a trolley-load of things. I see it as common courtesy, but from the reactions this gesture always receives I realise it's seen as a random kindness. It always makes me feel better, anyway.

Nathaniel

There was this kid Nathaniel who went to my school in elementary and he was a really nice and sweet kid but he always got bullied because of his facial deformation. There was also a girl named Natasha who pretty much was friends with everyone and could force anyone into doing what she wanted because she didn't care about getting...

math class

Every day or at least I try for every day in math class when I get up and put away my calculator I take everyone’s that I see. One reason why I do this is because I am already going there so it just makes sense to help out and put their calculator back too. another reason why I do...
