As we all are living in the 21st century, it is really hard to find people who actually care about you and show kindness to you. Here I would like to talk about a situation that took place 3 years ago when I first came to Canada. I was not very familiar with using public transport and I had to go for my first job interview in Mississauga. I was at the bus stop looking for my Google Maps and searching for the best road for my place that I have to go. There was an old person who has been living there for the last 30 years as he mentioned to me. He really offered me help and he was really nice and kind at the same time. He told me the best road to reach at my interview place and he actually stayed there for the time the correct bus arrived and he has to go to the same plaza. As he mentioned and he went with me, he actually showed me to use the Google Maps as well as the transport system works completely different in my home country. Moreover, I would say that it was a very wonderful experience with him. He was completely stranger to me. As we all know, people are usually busy in their own lives and nobody cares about you. But he was a very nice and kind person who really helped me at that time. And I can never forget that person in my whole life who taught me actually to use the Google maps and to look for the best roads for the place I have to go and overall he he proved that the real kindness does exist today as well
