Assignment 19 - Bethany Welch

I'd say the best advice I've ever received was from my mother, she told me at a young age to "always treat people with kindness, as you never know what is going on in their life." This has stuck with me and is part of why I always to try to be a nice person. Looking back at my life I can certainly remember some comments people have made to me that weren't necessarily "mean," but were rather insensitive and weren't good to hear at a specific time of my life. I am not claiming to be a perfect person and say I'm always nice, there are definitely times in my life that I look back on and regret, but I feel that this piece of advice has definitely molded me into being a more understanding and friendly person. I'd also like to take this a step further and try and be a friend to lots of people I've never talked to before, because you never know when someone may need a friend.
