Today, I'm going to share a recent experience about finding a lost wallet on campus. It was a black leather wallet, quite sleek and compact. Inside, there were some cash and a student ID, but no other identifying information.
I found the wallet near the library entrance, just before the area got busy with students. It was early in the morning, and the library was just opening. Initially, I was surprised to see something like this lying around unattended. I picked it up and looked around, but there was no one in sight who looked like they were searching for a lost item.
After finding it, I decided the best thing to do was to take it to the campus lost and found center. I also informed a security guard about what I had found, just in case someone reported it lost. They thanked me for my honesty and took down my details.
I felt really satisfied about doing the right thing. It's easy to keep something that's not yours, especially when it has cash. But I knew that if I lost something valuable, I would want someone to return it. The experience made me realize the importance of integrity and empathy.
I hope the wallet's owner was relieved to get it back, and I'm glad I could play a part in it. Finding and returning the wallet was a simple act, but it reinforced my belief in doing the right thing, no matter how small.
