A random act of kindness


A few days ago someone knocked at the door of the apartment I live in. I instantly thought they were people asking for money and I thought that if I was right I would tell them I don’t have money to give because I am a student and I don’t work. I wasn’t lying if I told them that, but I do have some money from my parents for  my everyday expenses. So I opened the door and I changed my mind immediately. It was a girl that had the most innocent look on her face and yes, she was asking for money. I could tell that life treated her bad and in a way, I felt sorry for her. She told me that she sells packages with household products such as dish detergent and liquid soap. She also told me that the money she raises are for a Foundation who helps people.  And  too my surprise I said that I would buy one package from her. After  she left I realized that I should have given her more money because she asked for a small amount  for the products.  This was my random act of kindness for that day. It’s amazing how other people can change us and our opinions. Life is full of surprises.
