A Simple Gesture Really Made Our Day
I went into the Subway restaurant with my friends Stevie and Britni after a long day at the Del Mare Fair. Stevie bought her own sandwich, and I offered to share with Britni so we didn't have to pay as much. When I got to the counter, I hadn't realized how many things my friend had ordered on her side of the sandwich, and I didn't know whether I was going to have enough because I was planning on buying for both of us.
To my pleasant surprise, the guy who was working there pulled out his credit card and offered to pay for our sandwich. The simple gesture made me smile, and I didn't know how I could thank him. In the end, I found more money and paid for it myself, but right before we left, I ran back and gave him a seven dollar tip. My friends also came back and tipped him as well.
I hope that he knows just the thought of doing something like that made my day. Thank you, and I won't ever forget it.

Offering a Helping Hand at Sea World
From 5-year-old Kayla:
I was in Sea World with my Dad, Nan, and Pap. The show was over and it was really crowded. I was holding my Dad's hand and then my hand slipped. I stopped because I couldn't see him anymore.
I started to cry, and a lady came up to me. She asked me my name and offered to help me find my Dad. She sat with me for an hour.
Then we saw them.
I hugged my Dad so tight! I never wanted to let go.
Dad said, "Thank you," and I did too.
I hope she knows that without her, I would have never had found my family.
