Senators show kindness by helping others. When people are having a bad day, a simple act of kindness can make them feel better and improve their outlook. This week, if you see someone who is sad or in need, ask them if they are okay and offer your assistance. Even a small amount of kindness can really make a big difference in someone’s day. Have a great week from Be A Senator.
