Seven years ago, I was a 16-year-old girl doing a part-time job at an aquarium (水族馆). My passion for the 1 and my dream of becoming a biologist made every day at the aquarium exciting. I also got along well with the other workers.
However, when "Shark Week" arrived, on the day of my duty, I suddenly fell 2 . My face appeared pale and I was about to 3 . My co-worker noticed and walked me to the office. Feeling really sick, I knew I had to take a 4 home.
As I made my way to the bus stop, I passed a cupcake shop. Considering the hot weather, I decided to 5 myself to an ice cream. The woman at the checkout did the usual customer service "How's your day?" Hearing this, I almost 6 in tears as I explained that I wasn't well enough to work and that I would end up missing Shark Week. She looked at me in sympathy and 7 asked if I wanted some chocolate on my ice cream. I said sure. As I 8 for my purse, the woman immediately told me that it was on her. I was so 9 that I thanked her a million times before leaving.
My memory isn't the best, but her act of kindness did make my terrible day better. Small kindnesses really make a 10 . The experience of that day has always reminded me to be a source of positivity for those around me, especially during difficult times.
