An act of kindness that took me by surprise

 One act of kindness that took my by surprise was last year during lunch. I had a habit of rushing out of my house and forgetting my lunch. My friend took notice and she started to pack extra snacks for me in case I forgot. This was really sweet to me because I had never had someone do something like that for me before. 

Today in class we learned about colorism in India. From this I learned that people will try to change their skin color to fit the societal norm by using skin lightening products. I thought this was interesting and unfair because everyone should be able to love themself as they are.

I also plan to do a five year program that allows me to immediately graduate with a masters in teaching after 5 years of college.
