Among the slander and the bullying that has become all too common in the halls of every high school, there is always a handful of individuals who shine through that murk; revealing that there is still hope in an increasingly barbaric society. In this I find hope that someday we might return to the days of common decency and kindness but until then I keep my eyes peeled for the sliver of sunshine behind the dark clouds. I don’t want these people to continue to go unnoticed for the service that they do for society. Whether it is small or a large ordeal, I encourage these random acts of kindness – as they give me hope for the human race.
