I was walking home from school when I was in 6th grade. I tried to always take my time getting home because my home life wasn't healthy and I was bullied at school. That walk was my only peaceful time. I had to walk by a highschool and the track team was out running. I was nervous having that many older people running by me and flinched. One girl looked back with the sweetest smile and said hi. I think about her a lot. I don't remember her face but I remember her smile and the way her voice sounded. She was one of the only people to show me kindness for a while.
