Showing Kindness Can Give Others the Courage to Turn Their Life Around

McKinley Corbley recently posted a heart-warming story on the Good News Network. Five years ago, Tiffany Hall was caught in a cycle of drug abuse and addiction. Today, she is about to become a college graduate and credits her success to the kindness of the police officer who arrested her. According to the article, “Hall first met Lieutenant Jim Foster when he was arresting her on drug charges in Long Beach, California. It was to be the first of many encounters between Hall and the compassionate police officer.” Whenever Lt. Foster would take her to the station, he would talk to her about her situation and encourage her to make better choices. Foster’s kindness had such a positive impact on Ms. Hall that it eventually gave her the courage to turn her life around. The two were recently reunited where Ms. Hall presented Lt. Foster with an invitation to her college graduation. Ms. Hall says she plans on passing the kindness forward by pursuing a career in social work.
