Kindness

Kindness shows good manners. Being kind with someone helps them to feel happy and nice. One of my first experiences with kindness was when I was about ten years old. I was going to buy my favourite food at the store with my money. Suddenly I saw some poor people and small children who looked like they were really hungry and hadn't eaten in so many days. I thought I could eat my favourite food some other day and I should help these poor people. I went into the store and bought some food for them. I gave the food to them and they thanked me for it. I was a bit sad that I couldn't get my favourite food but when I saw them eating it, I couldn't imagine their pleasure and how happy they were. After that, all of my unhappiness went away and I felt good about my self. I was so happy that I had helped someone by sacrificing my money and my food. When I told my parents about it, they applauded my sacrifice. So that's how I had been kind to someone.

I also learned that the truth in choosing to be kind is one of the greatest, best, most beautiful and most loving things that we can ever do. I want to continue committing acts of kindness by saying hello to people in the school hallways and sharing a smile with them. I also want to clean a neighbor's walk once a week. That's my plan for spreading kindness.
