Fortune cookie

I was throwing away the remains of leftover Thai when I decided I should crack open the fortune cookie out of curiousity. Cookie said, "Forgive that person. Just do it." I was surprised. All of my other cookies have promised me good things and praised my virtues. But this cookie was a prophet.

Today a student who desperately needs help got so angry with me for trying to lend a hand. She does this to everyone in her life. The things she was saying about me and the poisonous aura surrounding her really got under my skin. I felt like the unpopular middle school girl. I should be older and more mature. Cookie made me realize that she has no skills to accept the hand of help. She's barricaded me out, but I need to find a way for kindness to break through.
