Kindness

Don't worry, I didn't forget about the blog. I've just been so busy between class, my internship and the attractions of the city.  My first week at the internship was wonderful and I can't wait to go back next week.  I feel that most people who don't live in the city have a perpetual feeling that the people here are gruff and impersonal.  However, I have witnessed a few acts of random kindness this week that really made me have hope for generous people.  Several times on the subway, I have seen younger people give up their seats to older people.  I have also witnessed people holding doors and waiting for people to reach them.  The city may have its stern reputation but there really are caring people who live here.  I can't wait to write on Monday about our weekend adventures!
