Meet Sam, a third-year Environmental Studies student at the University of Waterloo. Known among friends for their keen sense of compassion, Sam often finds themselves in situations where their trust is tested. After a few incidents of helping those in need, they learned the hard way about the complexities of generosity—especially after getting tricked into giving away $10 to a charismatic stranger. Despite this, Sam remains hopeful and continues to advocate for community kindness while sharing their lessons learned with fellow students.
