Some of you might be wondering – “what happend to your acts of love posts?” The answer: I’m horrible at blogging. Incase you’re wondering, I was able to complete all the days of love – and it was amazing to see the smiles on people’s faces. But I have to confess, that I either did not have the time to blog or was just lazy to blog about it. Hopefully you guys can forgive me. An update on Legacy Movement in the next months to come. Keep watch.
Act of Love #4 – Helping students at the grocery store who didn’t have a car
Anyone knows that going to the grocery store – especially without a car can be a drag. I heard some of my friends were heading to Superior , the grocery store next to USC, and buying some liters of sodas and chips. Rather than having them walk back to campus with heavy bags of groceries, I offered to give them a ride. It’s cool seeing how simple, yet unexpected acts of love can have such a good impact on people.
Act of Love #3 – Giving a late night ride
So, I admit it – I’m bad with this blogging everyday, so here’s a catch up on all my acts of love.
On Wednesday night/ Thursday morning, I gave a ride back to friend despite having 2 final presentations and a final project due on that day. Although it was a short distance – rides back at night, especially in south central LA, can be a real blessing to people.
Act of Love #1 – Helping someone push their car to the side in LA traffic
First of all, want to apologize for being late on this post. This is my Act of Love #1
So, Barack Obama came to USC today and blocked off all the streets going to my apartment. As a result – I had to park far away. Everyone was angry, speeding, trying to maneuver the LA traffic, when suddenly, a Mercedes Benz broke down right in front of me. I was about to go cut to the right to maneuver myself past the Mercedes when a car pulled to the left of me, so I couldn’t cut into the other lane. Coincidentally, a parking space was open to the right of me. So, I decided to park my car right there and help this man. He was going to see the president, and all of a sudden, his car broke down. Perfect opportunity to do my act of love. I got out of my car and pushed his car to an illegal parking spot. He said thanks. Afterwards I headed back to my car to pick up my stuff, but I felt like I should still help this man. I approached him again asking if he still needed help – because I really hand nothing else to do. And all of a sudden, the car in front of us pulls out and a parking space opens up for us to park in!! I then helped him push his car to the spot. His name was Tod. And despite my initiall frustration with LA traffic and LAPD for blocking off all my streets – I walked back feeling good that I got to love Tod that day.
