Middle School Students Push Grandmother's Recycling Cart Instead... School "Considering Award"

"These days, there are kids like this... Let's give them praise"

A group of middle school students in Chungnam helping an elderly woman pulling a cart full of scrap paper has captured attention online.

On the 2nd, an online community called 'BobaeDream' featured a post titled 'Praise'.

The author, Mr. A, shared, "I was waiting at a traffic light while driving when I saw students helping an elderly person," and revealed a photo taken on the afternoon of the 27th of last month at Agosa Intersection in Asan City, Chungnam.

The photo shows students pulling a cart filled with scrap paper as they cross a crosswalk. An elderly woman is crossing the street alongside them.

One student is holding the cart handle from the front, while another supports it from behind to prevent the scrap paper from spilling out.

The students continued pulling the cart even after crossing the crosswalk.

Mr. A explained the situation, saying, "I thought they were just helping her cross the street briefly, but they kept helping her as she climbed a long uphill and reached flat ground."

He added, "I felt proud of the students and decided to post this," and requested, "Please make sure to praise them."

Mr. A also said, "I think I would have hesitated to help, and probably wouldn’t have acted, so I feel ashamed," adding, "There are stories that kids these days are ill-mannered, but beyond the times, I see, learn, and feel that it depends on the person."

The students in the photo were confirmed to be attending a middle school in Chungnam. The school is reportedly planning to reward these students.
