Kindness and a Helpful Tween

“Refusing to ask for help when you need it is refusing someone the chance to be helpful.”
~ Ric Ocasek

The other night, I arrived at the lobby of a condo building only to find that the doorman had stepped away from his post and the front door was locked.  There was a young girl, 12-ish, sitting in the lobby balancing a laptop and some papers on her knees.  She seemed to be in studying mode, so I did not want to disturb her.  However, at one point, she looked up and seeing me outside, ran to open the door.  I told her that I was sorry to bother her.  She gave me a big smile and said that it was no trouble at all.
