Introduction:

Attention getter: When was the last time somebody did something nice for you?

Thesis: Random acts of kindness are very powerful, and can change somebody's day within seconds by doing just a small thing for another person.

Preview: During my time at Ohio University, so far I have helped pick up some girls books, paid for somebody's Starbucks drink, and helped my roommate with her math homework.

Transition: With this in mind, I'm going to go into more detail about my acts of kindness.

Main Point 1-

A.) As a girl was trying to get into her dorm room, she dropped all the books that were in her arms so I helped her pick them up.

B.) I helped her because I know i would want help if I was in that situation and I could tell she was flustered because she couldn't open her door.

Transition: In hope that I could make other peoples days better, I continued my acts of kindness.

Main Point 2 -

A.) I paid for the girls Starbucks drink in front of me, because her card got declined.

B.) The girl looked really flustered, because she was holding up the line and I know that if I was in that position I would hope that somebody would help me.

C.) The girl was really appreciative for helping her and getting her out of that awkward situation.

Transition: Given that, I had made peoples day so much better by simple acts I felt that I should do one more act of kindness.

Main Point 3-

A.) I helped my roommate with her math homework, because she had to leave class early and didn't know how to do a couple problems.

B.) She was confused and wouldn't have gotten the points if I didn't help her, and were in the same math class so I knew how to do them.

C.) She was very grateful and got a good grade on her homework and promised to return the favor if I needed

For example, are you going to go up to your boss and say, "Why the hell can't I get Friday off for work?" or would you say, "Hey boss would it be possible to please get Friday off, I have something going on." It's the little things in life like that, that people are going to remember you as. There is one specific time that I remeber, when I was at a restaurant with my family in Rapid City a couple years ago, I held the door open for a lady. She said thank you, you are such a nice young lady. Later on I met that same lady in the food line and I simply let her go in front of me and you could just see the smile on her face. When I sat back down at the table that my family was at, that lady came over to the table and said to my mom, "your daughter is one of the most respectful young lady's I have ever met." Things like that make you look so good as an individual. Another example, a couple of my friends say "man"…

    Now I want to describe an event that happened recently. Last year, I went on vacation to Nigeria with my family. On my father’s way home from sightseeing, he encountered a homeless man. This man had absolutely nothing. He had no money, his clothes were torn and stained, and he looked as though he were dying. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t know where his next meal was going to come from. Seeing this man, my heart went out to him. It made me question why some people are so unlucky. My family and I decided to help this man. We happily – gave him the rest of the money we had left.…
