25 Intentional Acts of Kindness. Countless Ripples.
One Powerful Journey. ❤️

All semester long, our students heard the same message from business owners, mentors, and guest speakers: success means very little if you don’t give back. Community, service, and gratitude were emphasized again and again. But beyond hearing those words, we wanted our students to feel them.

We also wanted to slow down. In a season that can feel rushed and transactional, we wanted to create space for reflection, connection, and purpose. We wanted our students to see that leadership isn’t only built in boardrooms or business plans—but in how you treat people, show gratitude, and respond to the needs around you.

This journey began our last week of class, with five group acts of kindness completed together, setting the tone for what was to come. From there, each student stepped into their own act—many choosing something deeply personal. What followed were moments of vulnerability, gratitude, remembrance, and love.

These were not assignments to check off. They were intentional choices.

Our students showed us that kindness looks like time spent with grandparents, appreciation returned to parents, comfort offered to strangers, gratitude expressed to caregivers, and love given without expectation. They learned that impact doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful—and that sometimes the simplest acts carry the deepest meaning.

The response from our communities affirmed what we hoped our students would discover. You paused. You read. You shared. One act traveled far beyond our communities—viewed by nearly ONE MILLION people across the world!! (No one expected that). But it reminded us all that authenticity resonates, and that kindness rooted in gratitude is universally understood.

Most importantly, our students learned that giving back is not separate from success—it is foundational to it. That accountability matters. That how you show up for others defines the kind of leader you become.

Thank you for walking alongside us. Thank you for believing in our students. Thank you for choosing to see the good. This series may be complete—but the journey is just beginning.

As we turn the page into second semester, these same students will begin launching their individual businesses, carrying forward the values they practiced here—empathy, intention, accountability, and community-minded leadership.

We invite our business partners, supporters, and community members to continue following along and investing in these students as they take the next step in their entrepreneurial journey. If you don’t already follow our page, please join us. You will love the positive stories we share! ❤️
