Hi. I am a senior at Evanston Township High School. I am working on an independent project: to perform acts of kindness in Evanston and take pictures of them to post on Flickr. I hope to spread kindness around my community and make people aware of acts of kindness. I would love to hear from you. Feel free to add anything relevant to acts of kindness and my project. Leave a post, add a comment to my posts, come back as many times as you like, and look at the websites and books I have added : )

Carrying a Heavy Suitcase
There was an older woman who looked like she was having trouble with her suitcase going down the stairs of the Metro. When I saw this I asked if she would like help carrying it down the stairs. She quickly said something like, "oh yes that would be great." I lifted it up and carried it down until the bottom where she said something like, "that was so kind thank you so much." I said you're welcome and we went our separate ways but I did something that I felt good about and was complimented by saying I was kind...exactly my intention. And it only took a good thirty seconds but made me feel happy and like I did something which actually helped her!
aww i like this one! especially because she acknowledged your act, that is proof of what a difference it made to her!
