A possible version
There are times when a small action can make a big difference. Smile is just one of them and my recent experience has deepened my understanding of its magical power.
The Power of Smile
There are times when a gesture as simple as a smile can do wonders, lighting up someone in the darkness and even healing the soul.
Overwhelmed by the stress from my poor academic performance, I was on the verge of breaking down. Noticing my frustration, Shelly, my best friend came to offer a few words of comfort but I was in such low spirits that I blurted out some sharp words and she ran away weeping. Regrettably, I was too ashamed to apologize and I couldn’t feel worse, which threw me into a world of darkness. The moment I saw her approaching the next day, I lowered my head immediately, trying to shun her/avoid her deliberately. However, she stopped me and gave me a hug. When I looked up, I met a smiling face, as sweet as flowers in the spring /as gentle as a summer breeze. At that moment, all my anxiety and depression melted away.
When words fail, smile speaks.
