Kasey Simmons Act Of Kindness
Waiter gets massive tip after being kind to grieving widow" - Yagana Shah

This week I chose an article that displays an act of kindness. Thirty-two year old Kasey Simmons from Dallas, Texas was shopping at a local grocery store. While he was shopping, he noticed an older women crying. He tried to cheer her up, and insisted to pay her small bill. Simmons later told the news station that it wasn't about the money, but rather about doing an act of kindness for someone in need. Kasey Simmons later went to work at a local Applebee's restaurant. After a few hours into shift, he received a very big tip of 500 dollars on a 37 cent bill. The note on the tip was from the old women's daughter from the grocery store. She stated that her mother was upset

    When it comes to narrowing down end-of-the-year favorites, increasingly the only criteria that makes sense to me is, “How profoundly did this change the way I thought about its subject?” And reading this essay on class and poverty and dental care felt like following Sarah Smarsh around as she flipped on light switch after light switch, illuminating not only dark rooms I’d never thought to enter before, but also spaces I thought I knew well but which turned out to be all shadowed corners. It works so well, I think, because Smarsh seems to have sensed that this couldn’t just be a personal essay or a reported story or a piece of pop-culture criticism—to talk about Pennsatucky’s teeth is to talk about her grandmother’s teeth is to talk about her…

    20 years ago, a man saved her life, by putting his own life in danger. He ran across 4 lanes of freeway traffic, to bring her to safety after being in a car accident that could have killed her. The man was a total stranger, who took off after making sure she was okay – she never even got his name. Marsh wonders why he did so and started questioning why some people have a different level of altruism than others.…

    Emily Andrews argues in her essay “Why I Don’t Spare “Spare Change”” that it does more harm than good to give money to beggars on the street rather than giving to an organization such as United Way to help the needy, pointing out that “one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy individual” and that by giving to a charitable organization “ones money is likely to be used wisely.”…

    Psy/490 Pay It Forward

    I chose to perform an anonymous act of kindness in the drive thru at Starbucks Friday morning on the way to work in completion of this assignment when I paid for the customer’s order behind me. I thought about it for a little while wondering if they too would pay it forward. So last night I was looking at my Facebook page, and my Aunt Theresa posted “So I went to Starbucks this morning (long line!!) When I got to the window cashier said the car in front of me paid for my drink! I thought whoo hoo! and then I asked why.. she said the car in front of them paid for theirs and the car in front of them paid for theirs... so.. I paid for the car behind me.. Paying it Forward today...”…

    Less often do we hear of stories of giving and kindness. Each day thousands of people carry out random acts of kindness. Late in 2013, Make-a-Wish granted the wish of a five year old cancer survivor named Miles Scott. He wished that for one day he could be Batman. Aided by social media, Make-a-Wish was able to gather 12,000 volunteers to make Miles’ dream come true (Miles’ Wish to Be Batkid). That’s 12,000 people that took time out of their lives to make a little boy’s wish very special. Another show of kindness was displayed on December 2, 2012, when Spanish athlete Ivan Fernandez Anaya gave up a victory in a race to do the right thing. Anaya was in second place behind Abel Mutai, a Kenyan athlete who won the bronze medal in the London Olympics. Mutai stopped about ten meters short of the finish line thinking he had won the race. Instead of surging past him for the victory, Anaya guided Mutai across the real finish line in front of him. Anaya was later quoted saying, “He was the rightful winner. He created a gap that I couldn’t have closed if he hadn’t made a mistake” (Hudson). Anaya’s actions show that humans are honest and are willing to give up their glory to do what it is…

    The topic I've chosen to write about this week's journal is about a concert I went to this past Monday. Actually, to my surprise, it was not really a concert. The title of the event was Julieta Venegas with Rafa Esparza. Julieta Venegas is a very talented Hispanic singer that was born in Long Beach, California but was raised in Tijuana, Mexico. Rafa Esparza is a Hispanic artist that crafts bricks through the traditions passed on by Mexico's history. Arriving at the event, the lights dimmed down and Esparza took a seat at the center of the stage while Venegas sat behind a piano. Esparza then spoke into the microphone and said," I want a dy** for president. I want a black woman for president. I want an immigrant for president". While this was occurring, Venegas was beautifully singing alongside playing the piano.…

    On a cold, brisk snowy night in New York City little did I know I was about to make an encounter with someone I'd never forget. I was waiting for a friend in McDonald's so she could get her food and stay inside for warmth, when I realized someone not too far behind me was talking. Startled, I turned around I saw a homeless man wrapped in torn up blankets, shaggy, undone brown hair and trying to keep warm like the rest of us. My first instinct was to stay clear until a woman had drooped her purse and money rolled around his feet, as he bent down to retrieve the money to all our disbelief he handed her the money and told her something extraordinary. As he handed the woman back her money with shaky hands, he looked down and exclaimed how,"Money…

    In my Senior Year of being in the National Honor Society, I was excited to volunteer and to help those in need. I helped out with a soup kitchen in Brainerd through another organization that I am in, the Student Council. As I scooped soup into bowls and placed them onto people’s trays, I could see a look of appreciation and gratitude on their faces. This was the first time in my National Honor Society career where I understood just how much my time and effort meant to these individuals. This volunteer opportunity made me realize that a simple meal, smile, and effort to do something helpful and nice can really make someone’s day brighter or easier.…

    Near the holiday, we set up a Halloween party for the homeless at Morning Star and the neighborhood children. In this event, food was passed out to those people sitting there cold and alone. Some people even donated clothing to them, so by the end of the night, they were filled with warmth which came apparent from the smiles they flashed. I have learned to uphold a greater respect for others than I did four years ago. Some people may hold less respect for these people by the little that they are able to offer, but I gained even more because they’re there accepting help when in their position and some wouldn’t even show their faces. It wasn’t much that we were able to change, but our small deed made them happy even if it was just for a night which they expressed their bountiful…
