My grandma was taking me there because I had to go to practice. We were doing a play at the time and at the moment for a few days snow had begun going everywhere. Everything was basically ice, everything was slippery, it was hard to walk on so people to generally go outside but my grandma didn’t want me to go alone so she went with me and she usually held my hand but since I was a kid you know I stopped holding her hand and I started running because I wanted to quickly go into the school and you know be in the act as soon as possible but that’s for my grave mistake game where my grandma started slipping because again she was old right so she started slipping and she she fell down I was really scared. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do.

Well, a small act of kindness I witnessed in my life was probably when I was a kid. My grandma was taking me to school because I had to go to practice. We were doing a play at the time, and for a few days, snow had begun to cover everything. Everything was basically ice; it was slippery and hard to walk on, so people generally avoided going outside. My grandma didn't want me to go alone, so she went with me. She usually held my hand, but since I was a kid, I stopped holding her hand and started running because I wanted to get into the school quickly and be in the act as soon as possible. That was my grave mistake. My grandma started slipping because she was older, and she fell down. I was really scared. I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I was only eight, but even though I couldn't help her, eight people around her at the time, mostly men, came running to help her. Seeing that really opened my eyes to the kind of people we have in our country. I had thought most people here were cold and didn't like helping others, but it was very different. They were willing to help, and seeing that made me realize that when I grow up, I should be just like that. I should help people even if I don't know them.
