Random Act of Kindness

As I am studying for my exam in the dining hall, with only a few students studying and the workers cleaning up from dinner, there are two students that come in and sing happy birthday to one of the workers. They got him a little present  from the countries we have visited so far and made him a card but took the time out of their day to celebrate this mans birthday. Every meal he sings songs while he works and always has such an amazingly positive attitude as he provides for his family back home in the Caribbean. You can over hear him while he is working praying to God for strength and love to those who surround him and to his family. He shares his love by always saying "one love" and that he opens his heart to everyone. It was one of the most touching things I have ever seen and actually brought me to tears of joy. Witnessing this moment inspires me to care and pay attention to those who are in the background that may not get the appreciation for their hard work that they deserve. All of the ship's crew is from all over the world, here to provide for their family who they go without seeing for 6 or more months at a time and we get to interact with them everyday and get to know a little about their lives. I now greatly appreciate their work and am inspired to learn more.
