Tutors Perform Secret Acts of Kindness

       What an awesome week to be a Berkeley Writing Center tutor! Amidst the stress of the first weeks back to school, our teachers and directors collaborated to put together our very first Acts of Kindness week as a Writing Center community.
       Last week, each tutor in the center was paired with a secret buddy and performed a small act to brighten that person's day - all while remaining anonymous. The goal of the Secret Acts of Kindness was to increase the sense of community within the Writing Center.  Emma Edmund said, "My tutor made me cookies and wished me luck at my next swim meet. I learned that it can actually be really fun to put together a gift for someone, and it's really nice to have someone do something for you."
       The Secret Acts of Kindness made each tutor's day a little better - how nice is it to get a sweet note or some candy from anonymous buddy?  Clearly, the Writing Center is a happy, welcoming place!
