A Simple Hello

简单的一句问候

I have always felt sympathy and compassion¹ for the kids I see at school walking all alone, for the ones that sit in the back of the room while everyone snickers and makes fun of them. But I never did anything about it. I guess I figured that someone else would. I did not take the time to really think about the depth of their pain. Then one day I thought,what if I did take a moment out of my busy schedule to simply say hello to someone without a friend or stop and chat with someone eating by herself? And I did. It felt good to brighten² up someone else's life. How did I know I did? Because I remembered the day a simple kind hello changed my life forever.
