In our book groups we discussed two essays “The Connection Between Strangers” by Miles Goodwin and the essay “The People Who Love You When No One Else Would” by Cecile Gilmer. In my group we said that “no matter how big or small your act of kindness is, it could change someones life” was demonstrated in both essays. In the first essay, “The Connection Between Strangers”, shows this because this little girl walked up to this solider and congratulated him. Little did she know, that the small action had changed the soldier’s life, as he said in the essay, “That girl undoubtedly has no memory of what happened years ago… It doesn't matter why she gave me the magazine. The important thing is she did” (Goodwin 83).

The short story"Aha Moment" by Julia Alvarez demonstrates that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on. The story expresses the idea that simple acts of kindness can make a great impact on people both mentally and physically. It can turn frightening and tense situations into assurance and aplomb. In paragraph 8, it is stated," no one screamed,no one panicked. I could hear small pockets of soothing conversation everywhere." By holding the hands and by chatting about everyday life, the passengers emboldened each other and created an optimistic atmosphere. The author points out,"someone was comforting me and kept asking me,'Are you okay?" According to Julia if someone does something good and beneficial for you, you should pass

Humans always surprise each other. The amount of good we can commit in just one simple act can be astonishing. Whether it is donating money to charity, helping out an old friend, or just even offering someone a smile or kind word when having a bad day, can lead to a great impact on their life. “Just as one drop of water creates countless of ripples, so does one gesture of kindness or love change countless lives (Randi G Fine)”. These noble, grand gestures; or le beau geste; are unselfish acts that people commit with the intention of creating a better life for someone else. These acts can be committed due to love, compassion, or sacrifice. However, in the end, all these noble gestures boil down to creating a better world out there for others.

Everyday I thank God and life for having a roof on top on my head , good health that allows me to work and study, food that I can share ,and a loving family that supports me. Without all these blessing, I would be like many others that unfortunately live without the privileges that I have today. The multiple acts of kindness from my neighbors were the first of many benevolent acts that I’ve witnessed throughout my life. As a result, I’ve reprocreated their altruistic actions by serving others.

Kindness comes in different forms, that can alter someone's day instantly. In “Enrique's Journey”, he witnesses kindness from several people in his time of ultimate weakness. Kindness in my life may not be that extreme, but it is appreciated. Even though giant acts of kindness aren't as prevalent as

If you would like to live a happy and more so, successful life, it is vital that you learn to express gratitude wherever you go. In order to reach where you would like to be in life, everyone should concentrate on their goals and objectives. Through expressing gratitude, people can learn to show good deeds, and hence be able to receive the same goodness, in return. (Radwan, Msc.) Gratitude refers to the act of being thankful, noticing simple pleasures, counting every little blessing, and acknowledging every good done unto you. In other terms, it can be described as living life as if everything happening in it is a miracle, and being able to continuously acknowledge every much you receive. On the other hand, when people decide to concentrate a lot of energy on bad things in life, it will make them remain in the state of conflict. But by developing gratitude, it will allow someone to focus on positivity and the good things in life. It must be understood that this will allow an individual to always remain optimistic, and with enthusiasm much success can be achieved.

The creature is created from as it is implied, from scratch and is as a new human that is still innocent, able to choose its own path and be either good or evil depending on how it is taught and what it sees. The creature’s first impression of human nature is its own creator abandoning it. This, among other disappointing acts of humans such as when he is prejudiced and hated for only by the appearance of his face, ruins the monster’s

Because man had been a part of God’s plan in the Genesis story of Creation, the Father knew that he would create man in the image of himself; however, Mirandola’s “Supreme Artisan” (Mirandola, 244) did not have this ease in giving man a form. Because man was not a part of God’s original plan, there had been no provisions made for his creation. Upon observing the world he had created, God realized that “not a single archetype remained from which he might fashion this new creature, not a single treasure remained which he might bestow upon this new son,” (Mirandola, 244), as the world was complete. But “it was not in the nature of the Father’s power to fail in this final creative effort,” (Mirandola, 244) and thus he created man by allowing him to “share in whatever He had assigned individually to the other creatures,” (Mirandola, 244). When compared with the story of Genesis, Mirandola’s account may seem degrading in its claim that mankind is nothing more than a composition of animal qualities; however, Mirandola soon makes it clear that God chose to make up for this lack of individual characteristics by

Although my helpfulness goes unnoticed by many, some do cherish it. These people that notice my hard work are my loved ones and friends. Many times, I have made friends through “cheerful service”. The appreciation from my friends and family is what makes my hard work so important to me. Whenever I help them, they thank me for making life a bit easier for them. Because of my hard work, my friends, family, others, and I are more cheerful, and I have done a cheerful

To explain, beginning with the basic atomic building blocks, a perfect harmony of protons, electrons and neutrons must be in a balanced existence for any and all to even occur. In addition, through scientific study our species has discovered how notions of gravity, oxygen, and complex interactions between energy and matter all coexist (once again in perfect harmony) to create the moment us ‘humans’ take so fiercely for granted. Whether through direct social control, notions of ‘common sense’, popular norms, and all the other various politics of life it is easy to lose sight of the clarity, divinity, and simplicity of the

For my random act of kindness, I helped a stranger who ran out of gas on the highway. A young woman riding a bicycle waived my husband and me down in front of the Support Site gate. She began to explain to us that she had run out of gas on the highway near the Carinaro exit, and needed assistance getting to the closest gas station. Usually, I am a naturally suspicious person and would have made up some reason for not being able to help her but this time I figured why not. The women got into my car and we began heading to the nearest gas station. During our ride, we exchanged pleasantries and made small talk.

There is a time in every person’s life where a certain other person gives them words of strong encouragement. There is also a time in every person’s life where they distribute words of kindness to others as well.

In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge give the Cratchits a prize winning turkey without the cratchits knowing, once the turkey arrived the Cratchits were so grateful for the turkey. In “Thank You Ma'am” the kindness is in the story when the lady gives the Roger 10 dollars after he tried to take her pocketbook, that is kindness because she did not have to do it but she did. My personal experience with kindness is when I let my brother have 20 dollars for a shirt he wanted, I did not have to give him the money but I did

This small act of kindness has made a big impact on me and was very important for me. Without their help, I couldn't have saved my image among all the national competitors I had to present to. When I look back this, I'm glad to have experienced this obstacle. Though it was stressful, I learned the importance of the act of kindness. Perhaps for them, them it made no difference, but for me, it made a big impact on my day and
