I saw and experienced a one-of-a-kind teacher during my college years.

I heard negative rumors about him, but he became my English teacher and I found out he's very passionate and goes beyond ordinary way of teaching. He's very generous with his knowledge, and did his best to make every lessons understandable. He always pushed us to be our best in every activities that we do - writing, public speaking, impromptu speaking, or acting. It was not an easy class for me, but I was grateful we crossed paths.

It is so kind for someone to help others pull out their potential even when his ways are often misunderstood.

It was a rainy day, and I was walking down a busy street in the city.

From a distance, I saw a man lying on the sidewalk next to a convenience store. As I got closer, I realized he was sleeping with a dog nestled inside his clothes, with the dog's face peeking out (made my heart melt and had a total heart eyes)

It is so kind that he might not have a home himself, but he is able to provide a safe space for his dog.

Giving When You Don't Have Enough

Being broken inside doesn't make us incapable of giving kindness, but it can hinder our ability to choose it.
When I think about generosity, I don’t just see it as simply giving things. To me, generosity means "giving even when you don’t have enough." And it’s not just about sharing things or possessions, but also offering kindness, forgiveness, empathy, and understanding—even when we’re going through tough times ourselves.

I saw kindness everywhere, but let me share about this one person I worked with for about three years.. Every day was a struggle—constant hustle, sleepless nights, and stress. Yet, this person remained kind everyday. The truth is, she was going through some of the worst challenges. I won’t go into details, but it was something most people would have a hard time handling gracefully. But despite her financial, mental, physical, and emotional struggles, she stayed kind. She shared what little she had, she listened with empathy, and was always helpful.

I watched her in those years, and she never changed. I made sure to thanked her and tell her that she was the kindest person in that crowded room, and I often told my colleagues that she has a golden heart. I pray for her a successful life. ❤️
