In her grandparents' old house, Maya discovered an old family calendar, with each page filled out carefully.

On June 6, 1892: "Helped Mr Thompson repair his house." On November 14, 1907: "1 my time at an old people's home."

Curious, she asked her grandmother about it.

"That is the tradition of our family," her grandmother explained. "Every day, for generations, we complete one act of kindness and take it down. No matter how 2 it is."

Maya was interested. "Why?"

Her grandmother smiled, "It's a belief that through continuous kind actions, we can create a life of 3 . Every day, we find a moment of light through offering help to others, even when the world around us is dark."

With admiration, Maya decided to keep the tradition. Every night, she would record her act of kindness for the day. As the years went by, Maya's entries of her kind act 4 . from comforting a distressed stranger on the bus to organizing community clean-ups.
