Kindness is something that takes effort. I was never exposed to much growing up but as soon as i saw alittle I could recognize it immediately. It sticks out like a cloud in the sky. One person who helped me understand kindness is my life mentor Tom Alkema.In my housing program for former foster youth we get volunteer life mentors. He volunteered to be my mentor and actually took me to my first laker game. Which being a sports fan in Southern California, was better then going to Disney land 5 times in a row. He had no motive to dedicate his time, but he chose to anyways. He showed me kindness through explaining his life principles and priorities and passed his knowledge to me. His kindness and ongoing care touched my life and showed me the importance of passing on the same kind of kindness to other people. The strive for kindness not only means touching other people's life but by controlling your own actions when someone's is being rude or hostile to you. Being a kind person can control your temper and salvage alot of relationships.This is why I keep kindness in my life as a priority and principle. I expierienced the effect and how much i appreciated it from other people. Its a principle that teaches me to be a better
