Meaningful blog of the day:

After school ended today and I finished up my track practice my mom picked me up and on the ride home she told me a really nice story that I thought I'd share with you guys.. So here we go:

There was a girl that had previously graduated from my high school that had a baby at a very young age. My mom didn't know the girl well but could put a name to her when she saw her, and of course she's able to carry on conversation with her.. My mom can carry on conversation with anyone. So anyways, this girl had never gotten the opportunity as such a young mom to go to college and get a decent job, therefore this girl tried to bring in her only income by working at a local fastfood restaurant. Which doesn't pay very well, especially with a young baby to support. So one day at work this girl had put her stuff in the employee locker room, which was supposed to remain locked to keep their personal items safe. She went on with her day and at the end of her shift she went to reach in her purse realizing that the only money she had, 100$, had been stolen by one of her co-workers.  She reported it to her managers and they basically told her there was nothing they could do.. So back to my mom; she logged on Facebook and saw a post from the girl. In the post she seemed very angry but didn't directly say what had happened. So my mom, being concerned and generous, commented on the post saying she hoped all was well and that things would get better. Then she received a direct message from the girl and she told her story about what had happened at work. and naturally my mom felt bad for this young girl, considering it was hard for this girl to make ends meet for her and her child. So my mom said "give me your address and I'll send you $100" and of course the girl insisted that it wasnt necessary, but my mom being as stubborn as she is, stayed persistent and got the girls address and sent her the money with a note explaining that she hoped that one day the girl would, if able, take care of someone in need. Just like she had done. Of course the girl wrote my mom back with much appreciation. 

Now, I'm telling you this story because it proves that there are still good people left in this cruel world, sometimes they're just hard to find. Next time you get the chance to perform a random act of kindness, do it. The world needs more people like my mom.
