Random Act of Kindness

College is a time of business. Everyone knows it. For my random act of kindness I decided t0 email both sets of grandparents out of the blue. I have tried very hard to stay in contact with my family since I arrived in Waverly, but sometimes it is a lot harder then it would seem. I decided that emailing them to give them an update on the life of their oldest grandson might be nice.

I told them about everything that is keeping me busy, and how my classes are going. I gave them my best and told them all much how much I have appreciated the love and support they have shown. It felt good to email them, and as a result, I had an epiphany. I am going to stay in better contact with them. I do a good job of staying in touch with my parents and siblings, but my grandparents are just as important to me. I can at the very least send them a short email every once in a while. They will appreciate the message, and it makes me feel good in the process. College has shown my how much family really means to me and how much I value them. I may have taken them for granted at times, but it is something that really isn't noticed until you can't always see them. There is truly more to college then schoolwork...

  1. That is a great idea, Josh, and it goes along with the ideas of Putnam as well.
