So I ran into a McDonald's which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab. I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he empathized. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned only to tell me that the cab
company had put him on hold and then the line got
disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not
been able to request the cab yet. My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school.
Without hesitation, I followed him into
his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to
spare before the bell!
Upon arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly. His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a
wonderful human being to have on this earth. This experience
makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless
situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to
transpire (发生), which can have an unimaginable impact
