Kindness Starts With One®

Me and my friend were at an arcade/go kart place and we earned enough tickets to either get candy, or this one bracelet. My friend really wanted the bracelet, it had little flowers on it in a light blue color, while me. Heh, I wanted that candy before I had my braces put on, as it would be one of...

One day I was home alone and did not have anything to do. My mom was out picking up my little brother from preschool, which usually takes her about 90 minutes. I wanted to do something nice for my mom while she was taking care of my brother. I decided to clean our whole house for her. When she came...

One day I was in lunch and I had one dollar that I was going to spend on the student store. I was walking to go get some chips when i felt my pocket and my dollar was not there. I started to walk back to my seat when someone stopped me and said "I noticed that you lost your...

The other day I was on duty in the lunchroom. To be honest, that is quite a hard job. It is not at all easy to monitor 600 students and everything that goes along with that: having them pick up their own trash, talking back or swearing, and everyday issues that come up with so many students in one place....

While I was waiting to start swim practice, I was walking up and down the little hallway by the pool. There was a lady that was walking around in the pool area and watching me pace back and forth. As I was about to go back up the hallway, she complimented me on my hair and said every time I...

Last weekend, I went to my grandma's house and helped her clean. I vacuumed, mopped, and cleaned the bathroom. She is not able to clean because she has terrible arthritis. My grandpa still works, so I know she appreciated me doing some of the cleaning for her.

As I walked to my locker in the morning, I noticed we had a new student. I didn't quite think anything of it and left to sit at the tables as I normally do. At the end of the day, I noticed the new student was having trouble opening his locker. Since no one was helping him, I asked if he...

My cousin, Q, died on October 1. Since then, my family has done random acts of kindness in his honor. For instance, we like to pay for the person behind us in drive-thru restaurants. Doing this helps keep his memory alive in our hearts.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. A couple of guys in my English class were sad because they did not get anything. I felt bad because I had gotten a lot of chocolate and candy. I knew I wasn't going to eat it all. I gave each of the guys a piece of my chocolate.

My dads really old friend (he is like 83 years old) gave me 3 rice crispy treats but non to no one else and so I saw my sister looking like she wanted one but didn't want to ask so it didn't seem like begging so I gave her one to eat and she took it and looked happy.

On a night when I was waiting to work a concert at STAPLES Center and had a few hours to kill, I was posted up alone in my boss' office watching Game 3 of the 2018 World Series. It was the first home game at Dodger Stadium. As most of the office had already left for the night, I was...

At the end of a long day last year, when I was still a temporary employee, I was gearing up to leave. It had been an emotional day, which had lent me to taking lunch in my car to just relax. As I was leaving the building, I noticed my car keys were missing. After searching my bag and jacket pockets...

He saw potential in me. While working at LACC, I accomplished many milestones and worked with some of the most influential people in...

This is really a continuing R.A.K. story. My co-worker Jorge has really always been there for me. Since the very beginning when we first started working at LA Live in 2007, he has essentially taken me under his wing, teaching me and guiding me on a daily basis. We both have different projects we work on, daily and weekly, but...

My friends and I walked dogs in my neighborhood as a Random Act of Kindness service project. We decided to do this because we wanted to help people that can't walk their own dogs.

Tom was a Security Supervisor at the Los Angeles Convention Center. He was like a father figure. Although he passed in August of 2018, I still wish for him to be recognized for his kindness and hard work! He was genuine in everything that he did. Thank you Tom!

This story didn't happen to me directly. I heard it shortly after I was hired which immediately cemented the fact that I made the right choice in joining the AEG family. One of my co-workers was in dire straights because her husband had recently been diagnosed with cancer. A few weeks prior, when he suddenly became ill but before the...

My co-worker, Nick Barrett, is one of the kindest people I have ever met. He randomly leaves coffee and food on my desk for me. He makes sure everyone has lunch when he goes to get his. He has changed a tire for me when I got a flat at lunch. He will help anyone at any time and is...
