A young woman traveling on a student fare in the 1970s made a mistake with her flight reservations and ended up sleeping in Newark airport before her late night flight. A security guard noticed her and, being part of the Nation of Islam, took her to one of their restaurants to eat. He then allowed her to rest and called her mother to let her know she was safe. He brought her back to the airport in time for her flight and encouraged her to pay kindness forward. She has never forgotten his kindness.
