Random Act of Kindness

One time I was on my way home from college for a little weekend break to see my family. I was alone and did not have much money other than to get gas to get home. I was starving because I had also ran out of groceries at my apartment. I stopped at a subway that was attached to a gas station to eat. All i got was a small sandwich because it was all I could afford since I had to fill up my car as well. I was already having a bad day. I was sitting alone eating when a stranger walks in to order food. The stranger orders his food and waits for it to come out. As he starts to walk out he approaches me and says "You have three cookies to choose of your liking waiting on you at the register." And I immediately thanked him because I was so hungry, and who doesn't love cookies? It just brightened my entire, and I had a good ride home and I will never forget the man who bought me cookies during my rough week. This random act of kindness put a smile on my face, and gave me the hope that they are still good people in the world that do good deeds, and expect nothing in return. This needs to happen more often because it is the start of the chain. The next I had the money to do so I started paying for people's food behind me in drive thrus. You never what kind of day someone is having and it just pays to be kind to everyone.

"This I Believe" Essay 1

Macklin Levine wrote "The Beatles Live On" for the love that she had for this particular rock band. She relates their music to her everyday life and her father. She believed you could learn about yourself from their heartfelt lyrics. The essay relates to her family and keeps all the memories alive. Her father passed away, but the Beatles keep her memory of him alive. Music played an important in this young girl's life, as it does in many others. Just like her dad passing away, The Beatles had broken up as well, but the memories of both them still live on.

3 Types of Friends

I choose to keep my circle of friends small, but I do have at least friends, and they are all different. I have on friend who will always be my first best friend. She is the type of friend that I can talk to constantly, and then not talk to for a couple of days, or even weeks and we would still pick up right where we left off. She would always be there for me when I need her most. I have another friend that I see at college every day, but she is boy crazy. She always wants to be around boys and put them first because she is desperate for attention from them. The third type of friend I have is the “mom” friend. She is always checking up on us and taking care of us when we get ourselves into sticky situations. These describe my entire friend circle perfectly, but I would not trade them for any other friends in the world.

3 Types of Teachers

High school was more laid back than college, and so were most of the teachers. I had this one teacher that always favored the athletes, and luckily, I was a good one. She would extend due dates for me when she knew I had late games, and would always help me out if I was doing poorly in her class, but that did not mean that she did not like her other students, because she liked us all. She just strongly favored athletes, because all her kids were athletes in high school. She was very sweet, and very smart and was always willing to help me out. I had another kind of teacher that did not give me an easy way out. She would help me to pass, but would try to make me more responsible and make me finish work on time and by myself. The third kind of teacher I had was the hard one. She did not give me anything extra, and she treated all her students the same. We were all equals in her class and the same due dates and the same work. She was cold hearted and was just their to do her job and get ...
