While-writing
When I was in primary school, I was once helped by a kind stranger. It was a rainy afternoon, and I was waiting alone at the bus stop without an umbrella. A lady saw me and reached out to me with her umbrella. She even walked me home. I was deeply touched by her kindness.
That experience stayed in my heart. I always remembered the warmth of that helping hand. So last month, when I saw an old lady struggling with heavy bags in the rain, I made up my mind to help her. I signed up to carry her bags and walked her to her doorstep. She thanked me with a smile.
Helping her made me feel truly happy. I realized that love leads to love. Just as someone once helped me, I could also offer a helping hand to others. This is how a circle of goodwill and kindness is created.
