A simple HELLO

I have always felt sympathy and compassion for the kids i see at school walking alone, for the ones that sit in back of the room while everyones 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 scedule 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 brighten up someone else's life. How did i know i did? Becouse i remembered the day a simple kind hello changed my life forever...
