And she needed to connect to the Wi-Fi in order to sort of talk to him on WhatsApp.

She had an international phone.

Connecting to the free airport Wi-Fi required kind of filling out one of those standard forms with like your email address and your zip code, things that some people are very accustomed to doing, but others might not be.

And

I guess I'll mention that I have no clue how to say zip code in any other language besides English.

And so after a few failed attempts at explaining sort of what she needed to do, she just kind of handed me her phone.

I ended up filling out the form.

with my own sort of personal contact information to get her connected.

And, you know, it was a kind of broken conversation, but I pieced together.

She was kind of telling me how nervous she was traveling.

She made it clear how appreciative she was of my help, kind of allowing her to interact with her brother.

I don't know if I would have done that if I wasn't studying topics like these in my research.

It's kind of easy to

to stay reserved.

Maybe someone else will help.

I don't want to get involved.

Those are the thoughts that sometimes enter our minds.

But this is something that obviously left her feeling positive.

And it actually made me feel really good, too.

And so those, I think, are exactly the kinds of actions that perhaps all of us should be engaging in a bit more often.
