Consider something in your life you think goes unnoticed and write about why it's important to you.
On a hot, sticky summer day, I was just another child marketing their very own lemonade stand. Of course, since I was only five I had the brilliant idea to make the lemonade from scratch, not knowing that lemonade requires more than just lemons and water, the lemonade was appalling. I remember sitting at my home-made stand, which was the end table from the living room, for what felt like forever just watching cars pass by without a second look. Just after I gave up and dumped the nasty lemonade, an older man pulled over. Of course I wasn't able to offer him a cup considering the lemonade was currently soaking into the soil, but that didn't stop him from offering ten dollars, which was a fortune to a five year old, and a warm smile. After he pulled away I remember feeling astounded and an overwhelming sense of gratitude. I had just received my very first random act of kindness. These acts go far unnoticed these days and seem to happen less and less as the years go on. That doesn't stop me from trying to hand them out as many chances as I can, whether it be holding the door open for a stranger or paying for a stranger's coffee. Small acts like these make the world a better and happier place. Too many people have lost hope in humanity and it's small acts like these that help people regain it. I personally love giving random acts out due to the smile it brings to others. It gives me a feeling of meaning and purpose, knowing that I just made a persons day just a little bit better. Unfortunately, there are people in this world that are either oblivious to these gestures or unfazed and ungrateful. I can recall many times where I hold open a door only for a grunt in return. People nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important and needed in today's society. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the recipients but also to the givers. I want to be able to spread the idea of these random acts to the rest of the world. I want to show people how the kind actions they commit have the ability to make a big difference in someone else's life, no matter how big or small it is. I hope that one day no one has doubts about humanity because humanity is amiable and gracious. I want everyone to have the chance to feel the same gratitude and happiness I felt when I received my very first random act of kindness.
