Flag Down: A Moment of Courage and Kindness

One day, I was walking along the street when I saw a stranger in distress. He was struggling to pull a heavy suitcase up a steep hill and he needed help. I immediately stepped forward and helped him carry it for him, which was a moment of courage and kindness for me. If I hadn"t flagged down, he might have given up and continued his journey alone, which would have been a sad sight. However, by flagging down, I was able to help him and make his journey a little bit easier. This experience taught me that we should always be ready to help others when they need it, even if it"s just a small gesture like flagging down. It"s these moments of courage and kindness that make life more meaningful and fulfilling.
