Meet Brian Smith. According to his Facebook, Brian is a father of one living in Kansas City, Missouri.
On August 18, Brian woke up to the sound of someone knocking on his front door. He was confused but answered anyway.
Brian learned that the young boy at his door needed a ride to school. He had missed the bus and had knocked on three other doors before Brian’s. He had no other way to get to school — so Brian didn’t hesitate. He happily gave the young man a ride to school.
Brian’s move may seem a little risky, because you never know a stranger's motives, but his selflessness inspired many people online. His post has been shared over 100,000 times.
Others pointed out that this young boy is admirable as well. If it were me, I probably would have gone back to bed and missed a day of school — but this student’s dedication to his education is heartwarming.
Both Brian and his neighbor were courageous in this situation: the student, in his willingness to ask for help, and Brian, in his selfless act of kindness.
Not only did Brian help this young boy get to school, but he also set a great example for his daughter. As Brian points out in his post, the youth are our future, and their education is priceless.
What do you think about Brian’s act of kindness? Is it something you would have done?
