Usually students, like myself, can find many trivial things to complain about. Examples include book costs, dining hall food, sports teams, parietals, student government, The Observer, etc. Sometimes these small problems can block our view of the kindness and generosity of the Notre Dame communi ty. I will never again overlook the compassion of this community. About two months ago I was struck by a car while returning Defending Notre Dame home from the establishment known as the Linebacker.
