In today’s world it is really hard to find a kindness from someone, specially from a stranger. The ones who do that are a great personality in my eyes. And I would like to talk about the act of kindness that has really made me impressed. When I first came to Canada two years back, I was all alone here and I had to go to my college on my very first day all alone as I didn’t have much friends here and the one I have they all live in a different city and I still remember it was a snowy day and I was at the bus stop looking for my bus and I did one to the wrong bus route at that time and there was nobody to help me at that time because we know everybody is busy in their own lives and in their own schedules. There was an old man who have been living here from last 50 years and he was quite kind to me and and helped me with the Google Maps and the bus routes. Because in my country, the transportation system and the bus routes are completely different as compared to the Canada. And it was my very first experience to go to my college by the public transport. And I asked him for help, and he taught me to use the Google Maps. and actually he waited there for me until my first bus came and it was a very kind personality to help me at that time and I would never forget that person in my life and I also took his phone number and I thanked him later as well and he also helped me to get my very first job in Canada So, yeah

In today's world, it is really hard to find kindness from someone, especially from a stranger. The ones who do that are great personalities in my eyes. I would like to talk about an act of kindness that really impressed me. When I first came to Canada two years ago, I was all alone and had to go to my college on my very first day by myself, as I didn't have many friends here, and the ones I had lived in a different city. I still remember it was a snowy day, and I was at the bus stop looking for my bus. I had taken the wrong bus route at that time, and there was nobody to help me because everyone is busy in their own lives and schedules. An old man, who had been living here for the last 50 years, was quite kind to me. He helped me with Google Maps and the bus routes. In my country, the transportation system and the bus routes are completely different compared to Canada. It was my very first experience using public transport to get to my college. I asked him for help, and he taught me how to use Google Maps. He actually waited there for me until my first bus came. It was very kind of him to help me at that time, and I will never forget that person in my life. I also took his phone number and thanked him later. He even helped me get my very first job in Canada. So, yeah.
