My Act of Kindness Everyone should do something nice to someone at least once in his or her lifetime. Kindness is the act or the state if charitable behavior to other people. Doing something kind to someone makes you feel great about yourself. People also look at you in a better way when they notice your act of kindness. That’s why I decided to do an act of kindness.
On Saturday, I decided to take a walk with my friends in DC. While I was taking a walk we noticed a homeless man laying outside the metro without any shoes and dirty ripped clothes. I started thinking what if I was in his position? I reached for my wallet in my pocket and took out a 10-dollar bill and handed it to him. As he grabbed it from my hands he said, “God bless you.” I noticed a smile on his face. The smile on his face made me smile and feel great about myself. We kindly decided to donate money to every homeless person we saw after him that day. Every time I donated money that day I felt better about myself. To see the smiles on their faces and how happy they were made me feel so good. That day was probably one of the best days of my life. Everyone around us noticed what we were doing and appreciated it. We got endless people walking up to my friends and I telling us how much difference we made to those people. As I was thinking to myself people shouldn’t take things for granted. There are people who have it worse then us that’s why you should be thankful with whatever you have or get.
