Faith Regained?

For those of you losing faith in humanity:

On Tuesday, one of the kids in my acting class was hit by a car. Well, he's not really a kid. He's a senior and one of the nicest kids I've met at Syracuse. He's shy, sometimes a little awkward, and besides that, I know absolutely nothing about him.

When he got hit, he was unconscious. No one in the crowd around him knew who he was. Coincidentally, one of the girls in my class was walking by at that exact moment. She doesn't know him well either, but she recognized him, and stopped to help give authorities some information. Then she rode with him in the ambulance to the hospital and stayed there all day and made sure that all of his professors knew about the incident when she got back to campus.

This was honestly one of the kindest things I have ever heard anybody do for someone who was maybe one step up from a stranger.

For those of you losing faith in humanity: you should meet Paige.
