Those days I’ve prepared to complete my college degree. The last project was named “smile”, which required us to go out and smile at three people and 36 their reactions.
It was freezing. My friend and I went out to a fast food restaurant. We were standing in line, waiting to be 37 , when all of a sudden people around us began to back away from their position.
As I 38 I smelt a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me, he was smiling and his nice sky – blue eyes searched for 39 .
To sit in the restaurant and 40 up, they had to buy something. When the young casher at the counter asked what they wanted to order, one of them said coffee because that was all they could 41 . I smiled and asked the casher for two more breakfast meals on two 42 plates. Then I walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the plates on the table and 43 the blue – eyed little man’s cold hands with my hands. With tears in his eyes, he said. “Thank you”. I noticed that all the 44 in the restaurant were set on me at that time.
I returned to college and 45 a paper about this story as my project to the instructor. She read it and though highly of my project. Just then I realized in my own way I had 46 the people at the restaurant, my friend, the instructor, and every person that shared the classroom. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn unconditional acceptance.
Much love and compassion is sent to each person who may read this and learn how to 47 people.
