Random Act of Kindness
On my way to class I decided to get a bottle of water out of the coke machine. Well the mother F'n machine took my dollar and of course it was my last one. Despair was creeping up on me, what was I to do? Try and get my money back or surrender and go to class. Surrender was the option I chose maybe today just wasn't my day. Head down, defeated, I was about to set off for class until an unfamiliar voice perked up my ears. "I was going to get something to eat but I'm not hungry. I saw the machine eat your dollar so you can have mine." At first I didn't want to take it, it could have been her last dollar for all I knew and I just couldn't take it. She wasn't havin that. She forced the dollar into my hands and with a smile on her face said "Enjoy." I thanked her turned to put the money in the machine and when I turned back to get her name she was gone. I wish I could have got her name because most people wouldn't do something like that. She made my day because that water sure did quench the thirst and its nice to see there are some people in this world who don't think about nothing but themselves. I might never see this girl again but its ok, she has shown me that there are still good people in this world and if I ever get the chance to do something nice for someone I'm jumpin on it.

I like this one. You should recreate the moment and put it in present tense. Kindness. Wow
Very nice. It's always good to have someone like that around, especially when you're down.
