Dear Editor:
I know most people write to you to complain or vent, but today I'm writing to thank two particular individuals from the bottom of my heart. I have no idea who they were and I will probably never see them again, but they made my day. In the Student Center on Monday, two gentlemen were passing out roses to every woman that walked by. I wasn't sure exactly what it was for and thought maybe I could just sneak past and not be noticed, but one of the gentlemen stopped in mid-sentence while talking to his friend to turn around and hand me a rose saying, "women's appreciation day." It caught me so off-guard, all I could do was smile ridiculously and say thank you. If I could redo that moment I'd hug him and tell him what an impact he had just made on my day. Aside from it being Monday, everything that could have gone wrong that morning had. But this man, by the simple of act of handing me a rose to say "I appreciate you," turned that completely around.
So thank you very much, strangers in the Student Center. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose day you made worthwhile. It just goes to show you don't have to do something grandiose to let people know you care. Thank you!!
