Topic – An Act of Kindness
I will always remember my first day of junior high school because of the kindness a fellow student showed towards me. It was a scary day because I had gone to elementary school in a different city, so when I started junior high, I didn’t know anyone at my new school. I woke up especially early that morning, and after getting ready and eating breakfast, I walked to the bus stop. Other students were there, but I didn’t know them. I was too shy and nervous to introduce myself, and none of them talked to me. When the bus came, we all boarded. Stop after stop, the bus doors opened, more students got on, but nobody sat next to me. We finally arrived at school, and I looked nervously at my printed schedule. I found my first class, then went to the next, and the next. At 12:00, it was time for lunch. The outdoor tables were all full, and I couldn’t bring myself to sit at a table full of students who all knew each other. Instead, I sat on a bench by myself and began to eat my sandwich. Suddenly, I noticed that another girl was sitting next to me. Her name was Mya, and she was also a new student. We talked during the entire lunch period, and after lunch, it turned out that we had English class together. I was so relieved to have made a new friend, and it turned out that Mya would be my good friend through junior high and high school. She is still my friend now in college. Her small yet kind act of friendship towards me is something I will never forget. Now, when I see someone alone and with no one to talk to, I always make an effort to give that person a friendly smile and start up a conversation. Answer the question.
