5 Random Acts of Kindness

Between class, work and resume building, it can be hard to find time to give back to the community. However, brightening someone’s day does not always require a grand gesture. Here are five random acts of kindness experienced by students at UT:

1. “Just a few months ago the credit card machine at my work stopped working, and I bought a police officer’s breakfast because of it.” – Heather, Freshman

2. “I was in line to buy a sandwich one morning, and someone behind me bought it for me.” – Aneesa, Sophomore

3. “One day I was walking down the street, and a stranger said I had a beautiful smile. It made my day.” – anonymous

4. “My friend used to work at a fast food restaurant and would give out free sundaes to people in the drive thru.” – Victoria, Freshman

5. “When my car wouldn’t start, a complete stranger helped me get it going.” – anonymous

So, while these experiences may not have changed anyone’s lives, it is something these people will never forget.
