Fresh college grad lends a phone charger to an older woman at the airport, earns the mentorship of a lifetime: ‘It’s wild how small things can snowball into something way bigger.’

• You know how airports can get, almost all of the charging ports and outlets were taken. This guy went on the hunt to charge his phone and found the last port. When he went to plug in, an older woman came up to him with the same problem. She needed to charge her phone but he was taking the last port. He had a double charger and offered to split with her. Sitting there they chatted and became friends! Which, as you can guess, helped him very much in his post-grad job hunting.
