Apology letter to college teacher

4 Upvotes

Im 16, from the UK and I'm in College, I walked to my class late due to a diversion and as I get to my classroom for Maths I see my teacher crying, I asked her what was wrong and she told me it was the class being horrible and she had enough, my poor teacher was in the middle of a break down. I know my behaviour previously didn't help but it's now that my behaviour will change and so whilst everyone would be like "she doesn't deserve an apology" I wrote her an apology letter myself.

I don't understand why people are so rude to others, we don't need it, we need to respect others, after reading the letter she said she feels better.

This is a message to show people that the smallest things can make big changes.

I helped an elderly person with her groceries

4 Upvotes

I was at the supermarket with my mother and while she was getting cigarettes I took the groceries to the car, on the way I passed an elderly lady with a trolly/cart full of groceries so I put my groceries in my car and looked over at her I was hesitant because of my social anxiety and I didn’t want to insult her (some people get offended when you ask if they need help because it makes them feel weak) after a few seconds I decided to walk over and ask and she was great full and when I was finished putting her groceries in her car she said “make sure to thank your mother for raising such a beautiful daughter” i said thank you and told her to have a nice day, It made me feel so good helping I couldn’t stop smiling it feels nice to help people

What would you do?

3 Upvotes

Ok guys, I gotta know what you think. Homeless kid, early thirties, hangs around my apartments. Neat guy, good socially, pretty kempt for homeless. It’s hot AF. I’m a fig farmer just back from harvest and sweating bullets and dirty as all get out. Ready to shower and chill, it’s obvious. He’s thirsty, wants some ice water. I am very much a community helper with a servant’s heart and want to come to his aid. As I’m going to get it he says hold on, he’s gotta grab his belongings off a nearby table. Ok? So I wait, 2 minutes. I can see him, he is on a phone suddenly texting… taking his sweet time. So I load all my gear in only to come out to him sauntering over slowly. I hand him the water, he asks can he come on the next harvest run with me. What would you have said…..

Please Give Me Advice, GoodSam App Users or Mental Health Listening Service Workers

3 Upvotes

I have the GoodSam App. It’s a mobile phone app where people can request a call if they’re feeling they need to talk for any reason.

I have massive stage fright in accepting a call back request, but I’m determined to do it. I would really appreciate advice on how to start the conversation, and (this is my worst fear) not let the caller down by coming across as disingenuous or disinterested.

I’d like it if the next request was my first call, but I’m nervous and worried.

Giving to the Homeless.

I recently gave a protein & greens bar to a homeless man who was asking passing cars for change. He seemed grateful, as he remarked that it was a quality item I was giving him. Rather than simply a chocolate bar for example. It felt good.

Suicidal because of Debt

For this past few days I am so stressed and depress to the point that I'm thinking to kill myself until now. No one is helping me or listening to me even my family, they just ignore me when I tell them my problem. I tried looking for a job but no one hired me because I don't have experience. Since I have 2 kids to taking care it's hard for me to look for job, they are 8 and 5 years old and they go to school every day. I don't know what to do anymore. Can someone help me please 😭😭😭

Oh no suddenly I’m homeless

2 Upvotes

Hi I’m an Army Veteran. I am homeless. I lost my residence due to being unable to afford it after having to close my home based business as an audio engineer back in October 2020 I’ve depleted my savings, had to terminate the lease on the apartment I was living in and have had to relinquish custody of my son to his mother as a result. I’ve been having trouble finding resources such as housing and employment. I’m 34 years old and a USArmy veteran with an Honorable discharge. No felonies and no drug habits. No transportation. If you have access to or can refer me to any resource that can help me move towards bettering my circumstances please do. I’ve already contacted the VA and have a case manager, “presumably” all funds have already been depleted, all beds in shelters are full and Orange County social services repeatedly refers me back to the VA for support. The county claims to not have anymore hotel vouchers I don’t want to feel like I have to trespass in order to find safe places to sleep at night. (Which isn’t safe at all). I included in this post with very little comfort towards sharing details about my struggles so that maybe someone if not many people can be aware that there are veterans/people in need of assistance and are not able to find resources sufficient enough to aid in remedying this very difficult, emotionally and mentally draining situation. Homelessness itself is a pandemic. If you are an employer in the Chapel Hill NC area and are looking for an immediate hire. Don’t hesitate to contact me. I am willing to work for income. I don’t have a lot of friends or a large social media footprint. So feel free to share this post with your friends, families and coworkers.

My goal is to buy an RV or camper style Van to live in and be able to expand my search for employment while I wait for housing opportunities. For contact details message me directly

Welcoming a stranger amid the pandemic

2 Upvotes

During these uncertain times, our hope in humanity is tested to its maximum potential.

I was driving when my car broke down in a very rural area. High heat, gotta wait for the towing, no air conditioner in my car. I took a chance and knocked on a stranger's door asking for temporary refuge from the sun and use of the bathroom.

I highly expected to be turned down! But no, thank god we still have some good samaritans in this world.

This kind lady let me wait inside her climatised home until the towing arrived. When I offered compensation (no physical cash, an interact transfer) she simply refused and said I had been good company. She didn't hide that she had hesitated a bit at first, but damn am i glad she didnt let me wait in my sauna.

Thank you kind stranger for giving me a little renewal of hope that not everyone is an asshole!

Seems like a good sub to share this statement I provided to the local police dept about what happened last April. Any idea of any other subs that would be a good fit for this? (Street names have been changed for anonymity)

On 4/10/2019 at approximately 2020 hours, I was driving eastbound on the 2500 block of West G St when I noticed a grey Dodge pickup in front of me swerving, driving down the centerline and crossing over into oncoming traffic. After narrowly avoiding a head-on collision with a vehicle at the intersection of Kare Ave and West G St, the vehicle slowly corrected back into their lane. The Dodge crossed into oncoming traffic again at the entrance to the Westhunt Shopping Center. It was at this point I called 911. I continued to follow while relaying the vehicle movements to dispatch. After turning south on Allie Ave and then east on H St, we continued eastbound. The vehicle crossed the centerline again narrowly avoiding yet another head-on collision. Directly after this happened the vehicle pulled over to the side of the road near 1408 W H St, never fully stopping, continuing a very slow pace of maybe 1-2 MPH. After traveling approximately 30-50 feet like this, the vehicle speed increased a bit and the direction of travel changed from eastbound to the east-northeast direction towards a residence on the other side of the road. At this time the driver silhouette very obviously slouched over to the passenger side and was no longer visible, indicating to me the vehicle was now out of control. Still on with dispatch, my vehicle stopped in the middle of H St, I dropped my phone and jumped out to try and stop it. The Dodge still moving and heading in the direction of a residence, I ran and made it to the driver’s side door where I opened and found the occupant slouched over with no hands on the steering wheel and a foot resting on the brake pedal. I reached in and hit the brake with my right hand bringing it to an abrupt stop. After shifting the transmission into park I turned off the engine and removed the keys from the ignition and secured them in my possession until law enforcement arrived. The abrupt stop appeared to wake the occupant. She was in a state of confusion asking what was going and after a few moments, started profusely thanking me over and over for what I just did for her. Leaving the vehicle as it stopped, completely blocking the westbound lane of H St, I asked the driver to get back in and shut the door and remain in her vehicle to stay warm. She listened but got out shortly after staying by her vehicle. While waiting for law enforcement to arrive, a bystander started asking for the Dodge to be moved out of the road as it was blocking traffic. I was very uncomfortable with this idea but ultimately agreed to move it due to the already hazardous snowy/icy conditions. It was moved completely off H St and onto the eastside of Frankie Ave at H St.
