From a smile down the hall, to someone holding the door for
you, to someone sending you a simple letter, People affect us in little ways
every day. Though at the time these
little acts of kindness don’t seem to grasp our attention for more than a few
seconds, I believe they are vital.
Small, simple acts of kindness can turn someone’s day, or
even week, completely around. And it is
my belief that by doing just one small thing for someone, you could be unknowingly
turning their life around, and opening up the doors to many great possibilities
for them to do good too.
This week, Camille Charara sent me a letter. A simple
letter, a thank you letter. A letter
that I wouldn’t be surprised if her parents put in the mail for her. But a letter
nonetheless.
The day I got it, I was in no mood to be messed with. I was grumpy. I wasn’t expecting any mail, and I only
checked my mailbox because my friends were.
I was so surprised to look inside my little mailbox and find a letter
from Camille. Instantly, my heart (and
my mouth) smiled.
As I was walking back to my room, I just got happier with each word I read.
So, Thank you, Camille.
You are great. And you turned my
week around. Good luck at U of M this
year. I know you are going to succeed
beyond measure, and I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Also, we need to take more pictures together, but you are beautiful ;)
Quote of the Week: “Smile, It’s contagious.”
