The definition of showing kindness means to be friendly, generous and understanding of situations and how to help someone or show kindness to anyone who is going through a tough time in their life. The ways I have learned to show kindness is to be helpful and understanding of others who are talking to me and listening to how I can help them in a tough situation. This year being a senior in high school I always try to find a way to help an adult by brightening their day with a smile or saying something to them that I have noticed them do for a student that was showing kindness or helping me out with something I might need during the day. Showing kindness can go a long way in life in general in today’s times where someone might need help or might need a little bit of confidence in themselves so doing something like an act of kindness can really make someone's day or help make their day in a positive way. The good thing with showing kindness as a young adult is I can teach others a little bit more on showing kindness to other people with the tough times last year on how I helped a lot of the teachers in my school stay positive throughout the tough times.

The reasons showing kindness is important in everyday living is because it can really help people teach younger teens or the gen z generation about showing kindness towards other people. Teaching the genz generation about kindness can help them become better adults and overall better human beings in today’s society. The genz in today’s times are having to learn some hard lessons with having to show kindness to people who need some confidence or just need some kindness during the rough times. The ways I have shown kindness is by helping the adults at my school and by sending emails to them on special occasions like on Valentines Day I sent some emails to help make their day awesome. The other thing I have done is last year I would send a little treat down to someone who was having a bad day at my school like an adult to show kindness by showing them that someone cares about them and wants to make their day better. The way I showed kindness at school in general is one time I got some donuts for the people who work in the office at my school because I see what they do for the students on a daily basis and the hard work they put in to help the school run smoothly on a daily basis and I wrote a note saying stay strong were gonna make it through I appreciate everything you do. The amount of thank you’s I got were awesome because I knew I performed an act of kindness without expecting anything in return.

The thing overall I have learned by showing kindness to other people is when I have done certain things it comes from the kindness of my heart when no one wants anything in return. The term doing something from the kindness of the heart means doing something for someone without expecting things in return and liking someone a lot and going out of your way to help them. The other thing I have learned with showing kindness is making sure that you do the task and doing it right to be helpful. The other thing I have learned is when anyone does an act of kindness for me I always try to do something kind back for the person that has helped me like writing a thank you card or telling them thank you verbally if I can because it can mean a lot to the person that I have helped out. The reasons I am talking about these life lessons in this episode in my podcast is because of all the things I have learned being a senior in high school about to go to college and kindness I have learned is one of the most important things in life as

a person and as a student for me to talk about what I have learned about being kind to others and how to show kindness back to anyone who has helped me with anything I might need confidence wise or anything on how to share kindness back with people.,
