I feel like I do this already in small ways: helping my peers with their coursework when they need it, never saying no when someone asks a favour of me, holding doors for people, and every ride to college I always seek to let someone join the flow of traffic from junctions. This year I’ve encountered rush hour most mornings each week and I know the frustration of gridlock. I give a generous wave in advance and lay off the throttle, as they wave back I give them a nod and a smile… which unfortunately they can’t see!

I will be putting more effort into putting a smile on anothers’ face. I live in a town with a large elderly population. Next time I get the opportunity maybe I can do something there.
