Kindness is Free

Today I witnessed something that made me smile. I can't stop thinking about it so I want to share it. I had just finished class and I was in a huge hurry. I almost got to class and a guy stopped me. He couldn't speak much English but he had a tiny baby bird in his hand. The bird was hurt and I could tell it was going to die soon. He came to the vet science building to see who could help. I could see how passionate he was about saving the bird. I pointed him in the right direction. Afterwards I got thinking, not many people would do that. That small act of kindness not only saved the bird but it gave me hope and it opened my eyes. Small acts of kindness can make someone's day so much better. Even if it's not to another person, even if it's for an animal. I'm going to strive to go out of my way to help people and animals around me. It only takes a second to do a kind deed for someone else and it could make their day. Kindness is free.    -Al
