Traveling in and around NYC can pretty hectic...even more so during rush hour, with people everyone in a hurry to get to their destination. I myself was rushing to the bus stop and crossing a pretty large intersection when I dropped one of my bags on the street.
A young man no more than 21 years old, who was traveling in the opposite direction hurrying for his bus, stopped and helped me get my bag and clean it off since it had fallen in a pile of dirty sleet/snow. I told him to go on or he would miss his bus, but he chose to stay and help me.
I was very grateful for his kindness and very inspired. He ended up missing his bus, but he was also responsible for renewing my faith in the human-kind, especially in the younger generation!
