Post #5

My high school's athletic teams are incredibly competitive. Therefore the week of tryouts are really stressful. My experience with this week started every morning with a quote. My dad would print out a quote and put in my car, on my bag or by my breakfast just something motivating to start the day. So cheesy but so special. When I graduated high school my mom presented me with a big board with all of the quotes that she had saved. Flash forward to today my brother as a sophomore is trying out this week for varsity baseball. My parents are out of town for the week and my brother is heading into tryouts every morning so my random act of kindness has been sending a picture every morning of a quote my dad had left me. A little tradition that my brother had no idea was going to continue. I felt really good sending these to my brother actually thought I would have to remind myself every morning to send the quotes but I actually looked forward to sending them. Each one sent has a meaning and I knew my brother being my brother wasn't expecting them even as the days went on. Overall it felt so good to perform a random act of kindness and it was so nice for my family to be part of it.
