Kindness Can Change Their Day

Hello once again followers,
      As the school year has gone on I have hit many road blocks. From worrying about how I'm going to get all the work completed to being upset that I can't do most of the things that seniors get to do. It's hard but I seem to get it all done some how. I just have to take time to breath sometimes and look around me to realize that I can do it.
      You see in life we all get so cought up in our own issues in life that we do not get to see how lucky that we are. We have to stop living each day in regret, sorrow, and self pitty. There is a time and place for us to grieve and be upset about our downfalls and troubles in life but then we have to get up and keep pushing on. When we let go of our selfish thoughts and feelings and just do for others we can get so much in return and it doesn't even have to be something huge. It can be as little as a smile, hug, or handshake.
      I know it doesn't seem like much to you but let me tell ya, when you smile at someone you can change their day. This was proven to me on the day that I went to audition for my district honor choir. There was some issues with getting me to the audition room because there was not an elevator to bring me to the floor where the auditions. I was so upset. I started crying. I then had one of the choir teachers from a local school come up to me and ask me if she could pary over me and we did. She didn't give me a million dollars or anything huge she just gave me her time and her support. After that I auditioned and got first place in our district.
    It was that small act of kindness that changed my whole mood for that day and proved to me what a smile and a few kind words can do. There have been many days when I wasn't feeling the best that just a few words changed my whole day. So I challenge you to do something kind for someone you don't know or someone who you can see needs your help. You never know how your few words can change them.
Love,
Callie
