At Starbucks I ordered a Vanilla Latte and the person behind me had no idea he was getting a free cheesecake, plus he's also a teacher at Jupiter High School. It felt very nice to brighten someone's day for nothing in return, he even told me he would reward me. I also think I made a good impression on who is likely to be one of my future teachers. Although his reaction was a little more than I expected. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"? Get an Original Essay The person who was behind me is a teacher at Jupiter High School. He taught sixth grade math. He was a very kind man but he never told me his name. I gave the cashier an extra five dollars to pay for what the next person in line was ordering. Once the cashier told him I would give five dollars for his order, he looked at me, smiled and gave me a thumbs up. The kind man approached me and asked why I was doing a random good deed. I responded by saying it was just a random act of kindness. He said if I go to Jupiter High School, he'll definitely remember me as the nice guy at Starbucks who paid for my cheesecake. Immediately after picking up the order, the man asked me questions. He said that the teacher who assigned the project must be a very joyful and cheerful teacher. I told him that's exactly what he describes it as. He said he would "pay me back" meaning he would do something in return in some way. But I denied it and said I shouldn't take anything in return. Then the man asked me which high school I wanted to go to, I responded by saying I wanted to go to Suncoast High School. He seemed a little disappointed. Finally, as he was about to leave, he told me I was a good man and told me he hoped to see me again soon, or in two years when I'm in high school. I decided to do this for my random act of kindness because it's not too small or too big. My thought was that the lucky person behind me in line would be happy with what they're getting. It wouldn't be as common as holding the door open for a stranger. I think it's nice that the person doesn't know they're getting something, it's a nice surprise. It's a unique idea with a nice incentive for those who receive it. I thought it would be the perfect act of kindness towards a stranger. It's also a simple and economical idea. In fact, an act of kindness can make you feel good inside and, according to karma, the same thing could happen to yourself too! After talking to that man and receiving compliments for my action, it was an unsurpassable feeling. Even just doing something small like holding a door for someone can make you feel accomplished. The man said he would "pay me back" if he met me again one day. But I rejected his offer, the feeling of the action itself is already enough for me. I don't think he literally meant "pay me back." It wasn't just that I felt good inside, it was also fun to see his reaction and how he complimented me. I learned many things while doing this project. First and foremost is that doing good deeds without expecting anything in return can make you feel very good inside. Secondly, doing these little things for others can take you far. The third is that it is these little things in life that can reward you later. Last but not least, it's rewarding to do something for someone else, even if you don't get a reward you can keep. This act of kindness made me feel so good that I would do it again for more people. I will do it again, it makes me and the person happy.
