Kindness!!!


Thinking about old times, there have been many situations in which people have been kind to me and I have been kind to others. Just as an experience i would like like to share a time when i have been kind to an old man. I was in toronto, heading back from our school trip. We were in public transit and it was rushed because we were 2 classes. There was an old man who was carrying a big bag which he wasn't able to take down the bus steps. So, before he could ask anyone around I offered him if he wants me to take that bag off the bus for him. He got a big smile on his face and said "Thank you, daughter". His comment made me happy. I was kind so he showed his kindness and after getting off the bus he thanked me again and we both had a smile we passed to each other.
Then the same day when I went home from school, I told my father about what happened and he was really pleased on the action i took. He was really happy that he rewarded me. He appriciated what i did, and showed his kindness on me. I wasn't excepting any reward from him, because he wasn't talking to me for misbehaving with my sister but for doing this deed he forgave for misbehaving and bought me chocolates. That was it for one kindess I did and got all this in return. I do believe on what goes around comes around. We should always be helping others and taking care of them.

My Experiences As A New Student In Canada


I can some up my life in 3 words which are "Life Goes On", I read this quote in my first ESL class. There are always good and bad experiences in life and that is how you get learn. You have to make mistake in order to learn about it and I was one of them. I learned after making mistakes. I didn't knew english when I came to canada. Imagine you are in a country where first language is english but it's your third language, how would you react. It was pretty tough to actually go through that time because you don't know what people are saying to you and you are trying to guess from their gestures and behaviour. It was fun in e.s.l because I got to work with people who knew my language and they could interprate and explain me what was happening. They tought me different words. I learned by speaking more and more. Before I was not confident while speaking english I would just go quiet rather then speaking because I was scared that my classmates will make fun of me. Some of my classmates were really nice and they always helped me and asked me to speak up so I can improve my speaking skills. But I would just be quiet rather then speaking. Then I thought that I am wasting my time for being shy, I have to speak up in order to learn more. I made mistakes but I was worest then what I can say today. That's why I guess e.s.l made me tough and that was the best ecperience of learning new language with new people. It was fun being in e.s.l but now I think I have to move on without it's help so I can be more better then what I am.
