I have been applying, interviewing, etc since July with no prospects(前景). I have been told mostly that I am overqualified, or they need fulltime etc. I had been getting pretty down and discouraged. I was actually asking myself why can’t someone be kind enough to take me on as an ?? .

This past Tuesday evening it was ?? outside and going to be 9 pm as I was waiting at a bus stop. Just as the bus ?? a young woman approached me. She had a T-shirt, Capri pants, and slippers on. She also was wearing several hospital bracelets.

I ?? my purse and took out $5.00 so she could get something to eat. I then took off my jacket and? ?? and gave them to her. I said, “These are a little big but they should keep ?? ? warm.” She looked at me and said “Aren’t you going to be cold?” I told her my being cold for 15 minutes? ?? I got to my place was worth it if I knew she would be a little warmer. She sobbed and thanked me with a hug. I just told her to ?? .

Then after I got on the bus that’s ?? ? the miracle of spreading ?? ? happened. I stepped up to pay the? ?? and the bus driver said, “Mam, I saw what you just did and your fare is ?? me, even though technically we aren’t supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes.” he said with a wink.

A lady who was dressed in a very? ?? ? business suit called me over to her seat. She said, “I want to know the ?? ? of the person who just did the most ?? ? thing I have ever seen.” I told her my name and she said , “What can I do for you to ?? what I just witnessed?” I ?? ? said a paying job would be nice.

The next day she called me and said that she had a ?? ? administrative assistant position ?? ? in her company and wanted me to meet with the manager. It ?? ? that the lady was the head Human Resources person.

I start Monday morning at 9am! Thank you all for inspiring me to keep passing the kindness on! I never expected to get so much back in return!
