（单词翻译:单击）

A few years ago,
 
when I was going through the deepest point in my depression-
 
my living situation was abhorrent1,
 
I had no car,
 
no license2
 
and barely3 enough money to get by.
 
All of this was because of the choices I made
 
but I couldn't seem to find my way out.
 
I was riding the bus home one day from work
 
when an older woman sat across from me
 
and struck4 up a conversation.
 
She asked me
 
if I took the bus often
 
and I replied with a yes.
 
She told me
 
how she had just lost her job
 
and that she wouldn't be needing her bus pass anymore
 
and offered it to me.
 
This woman had zero knowledge of my current5 situation
 
and on one of her worst days,
 
she still found a way to be kind to someone else.
 
It touched a part of me I had forgotten about
 
and it's an experience that will stay with me forever6.
 
I think about her sometimes
 
and hope she is doing well.
