Kindness Starts With One®

A Russian mum-of-two who adopted five kids, some of them with special education needs. I’ve come across Olesya Lihunova’s post today and was amazed how generous she and her husband were.

My dad! He is the best person he is nice and kind and funny. He is the best at what he does and he helps me and my brother when we get stuck on something or if we do not understand something,

My dad inspires me because he helps me when I fall. He also helps me practice and get better at the sport I love .

When I needed to have the support and presence of someone for a medical procedure, she was there. When I needed someone to talk to who listens with kindness and compassion, she is there. She provided transportation, conversation, support and offered to do it again if needed. I am grateful beyond words.

My mom because when I make mistakes in volleyball she will always tell me that it was in the past and when ur on the court just focus and it helps me

my mom, we argue and bicker, but at the end of the day she has taught me everything i need and tries everyday to better herself and always goes for her goals. She is there when i need to cry or yell, and just knows how to connect with everyone. I’ve never met anyone who is so small, yet so...

I’m thankful for my father for pushing me to be the best I can be and getting me to improve in everything

Michelle Tubilla (on the left) is a person who has truly inspired me to be a better human. We are both school counselors and used to work together at the same highschool. She is the most kind, sweet, peaceful person I have ever met. She always sees the glass half-full, she motivates kids and adults with her inspiring words, and still...

I have already submitted my "one" about my co-worker Angie Lobato, but I JUST took a picture of her in our hallway and wanted to share it. We call this our "Wonder Wall" because it is a year in review of all of the kindness projects we have done this year. Most recently she got the whole school on board...

My 'one' is my co-worker Angie Lobato. We teach in a classroom for students with severe behavior and emotional disabilities, and have a constant focus on Kindness. We started last year during Random Acts of Kindness week and really saw the impact it made on our students, ourselves, and the people we were "sharing kindness" with. We wrote a grant to...

My coworker and friend, our wonderful art teacher who has been a part of our school district for 46 years, amazes me every day with her creativity and spark. She is always helping her students learn and grow and is a positive influence. Her daily acts of kindness do not go unnoticed.

I love my dad because he helps me get better and he pushes me to the limits to get better at school and sports.

My mom is the one person who has never stopped caring and always pushed me to do my very best. One thing she always says is "If you've been strong enough to get through the hell that you have, you can get through this too." My mom is my best friend. We have had our ups and downs, arguments, and...

My "one" would be my son. He continues to show kindness to everyone on an everyday basis. He has always been this way since he was very little. Thinking and putting other first is a natural thing for him. He makes me want to be a better person. I believe that he will do great things in this world and...

This young girl, 19-years-old at the time, saved my father's life. He has a hoveround because he cannot walk. He was crossing the railroad tracks in our community and his wheel became stuck. He was hollering for help as cars went around him, but was ignored by many passersby. A train was coming and he began to get very worried....

My mom, she is willing to help me and anyone at anytime. she gives the love that no one else could and i am happy she is in my life.

my "one" is my mom. everybody loves her and everytime she walks into a room seh just lights it up with her attitude and even if she's mad at you or upset she will do anything in the world to make you smile.

My one is my daughter, Maegan. She has always had such a positive outlook on life and people. She decided in middle school that she wanted to be a firefighter, but college took her in a different direction. Between her junior and senior years of college, she decided she was going to pursue what she had always wanted to. She...

Brittne has been my best friend for about 3 years. Shes stayed by my side through the thick and thin. Her smile makes me smile. If im down, she calls me to make sure i´m doing okay.

My "One" is my Language Arts Teacher. Going to her class is the favorite part of my day, not because I like LA, because I love being in the class with her. Every morning when she walks into the room, she makes it brighter. She is super kind. She is the one who encouraged us to do Capture Kindness. She...

My one is my mom, she always kept me comforted while my Pappaw was in the hospital and when he died there.

My dog, Wolfie! I want to be the best I can be to make sure he is cared for, loved and kept active and happy. He's my hero.

Mrs. Miske inspires my daughter each and every day to be the best person she can be, and for that we are grateful.

She truly is the definition of a #toughchick her presence lights up a room and her smile is infectious!! She is absolutely my role model as well as so many other peoples. I know i always think what would...

This guy in my “one” Because what he does for me doesn’t compare for what I do for him. He’s my protector, my exercise buddy, my best friend and so much more. I always tell him he rescued me more than I rescued him.

My grandma Sharon went above and beyond for me and those around her. She always volunteered at schools and made those around her feel special by sending cards, baking cakes and helping out. I miss her so much but will always remember how special she made me feel.
