Random Act of Kindness

Bryn told me a story yesterday about a girl that was sort of a bully to her at the beginning of the school year. She used to kick her shins under her desk while they were in math class. No matter how many times Tori did this, Bryn was just sweet as sweet could be to her. She still said hello to her and treated her kindly. Yesterday, Bryn saw Tori sitting on the grass by herself at recess and summoned up the courage to go and sit by her to talk to her. She said Tori looked really sad and she asked her why. Tori told her because her friend was telling her to go away and that she didn't have many friends. Well, my little Bryn said, "I want to give you a goal to go and introduce yourself to as many people as you can in the next week and see what happens." After she told Tori that, Tori decided to give it a go. She did just what Bryn said and made about 5 friends in the remainder of recess. I am so impressed that Bryn wanted her "enemy" to be happy and feel loved. Needless to say, Bryn and Tori are now friends.
