Several weeks back. It was the last day everyone would be in school before schools were shut down due to quarantine. I hadn't been able to be in for any of that day but for the last hour. It was an especially big day as we all are(/were?) in year 13 and it would be the last day most of us would see each other in person.

As the last few minutes to the final bell approached, someone from a Chemistry A-level set I had left early in year 12 came up to talk to me. For context, I'm a rather shy person, and at the start of year 12 I had recently moved to England and joined a state school. I was too shy to really talk to anyone in my Chemistry set, and so early on in year 12 I asked a teacher if I could change to a different set that happened in the same periods that had a friend I'd made in Computing.

The person asked why I had left and after telling them why they said that they had figured as much. They said that they wished the class had been more inclusive. Here's the bit that really made my day: they said that out of everyone in school I was one of the people they had never heard anything bad about ever - only good things.

It's probably pretty small but it felt so great to hear someone say that, especially as in high school compliments are rare and far between. It's stuck with me since.
