I'm in the Student Accounting Society in my college. We are raising money for the St. Jude's Childrens' Cancer Research Hospital. At our table in the halls of the College Of Business, we had a bowl of candy, for everyone who donated money...
A kid walked by the table, grabing a handful of candy. We stopped him and asked, "Do you want to donate?" and he said, "No." and kept walking.
Minutes later, another kid came walking up from nowhere. As he was passing by, it appeared that he was aligning his hand to pass over the candy bowl to make a quick grab....We watched.
His hand swiftly passed over the candy, and dropped a crisp $10 bill in the donation jar....We called to him, saying, "Hey, do you want a piece of candy?!" and he walked away with the same stoic determination as the kid who stole the candy just minutes before him.
He's my new hero. Giving so much, and taking so little....and not even making a big deal about... is he the silent hero?? lol
