You might consider this not as something impactful or special in particular, but in reality it really touched me when it occurred and This happened a couple of months ago when I was finally moving away from Malaga I used to live there as a part of my internship and it was finally my time to go home As I was going to the airport, however, I encountered myself carrying luggage that waited as much as me, which is like around 50 kilos. It was impossible for me to carry it around. And the whole trip from my block of flats to the airport was an amazing example of how kind people could be. Starting off with the Uber driver that took me up from my flat. he saw me carrying the bags, he run down the street where he encountered me and helped me, he carried all of the bags and all of the suitcases without the second question, without allowing me to help him out, which I deeply appreciate now. Then on the airport I encountered, actually this man encountered me and he helped me put all my bags on this cart so I could move them around the airport and so I could send them off more easily. And the fact that he noticed me from afar because I initially didn’t see him is what affected me the most. I’m not a person who would approach a stranger if the stranger is not in deep need of help. However, and hence this is why I don’t expect it, but the fact that he approached me and helped me out is something that I found extremely thrilling and touching and I’m deeply grateful about that. And after all of that, in the plane there was this elderly man who also helped me to carry my suitcase, the hand in luggage and all of those instances piled up together, happening one after the other. And then I realized how kind-hearted some people are, which is something that I cherished. This is something I seek in people but unfortunately I don’t see it often.

You might consider this not as something impactful or special in particular, but in reality, it really touched me when it occurred. This happened a couple of months ago when I was finally moving away from Malaga. I used to live there as part of my internship, and it was finally my time to go home. As I was going to the airport, however, I found myself carrying luggage that weighed as much as me, which is around 50 kilos. It was impossible for me to carry it around. The whole trip from my block of flats to the airport was an amazing example of how kind people can be. Starting off with the Uber driver who picked me up from my flat. He saw me carrying the bags, ran down the street to meet me, and helped me. He carried all of the bags and suitcases without a second thought, not allowing me to help him, which I deeply appreciate now. Then at the airport, I encountered a man who helped me put all my bags on a cart so I could move them around the airport and send them off more easily. The fact that he noticed me from afar, because I initially didn't see him, affected me the most. I'm not a person who would approach a stranger unless the stranger is in deep need of help. Hence, I don't expect it, but the fact that he approached me and helped me out is something I found extremely thrilling and touching, and I am deeply grateful for that. After all of that, on the plane, there was an elderly man who also helped me carry my suitcase and hand luggage. All of these instances piled up together, happening one after the other, and I realized how kind-hearted some people are, which is something I cherish. This is something I seek in people, but unfortunately, I don't see it often.
