My Twenty Sixth Act of Kindness

Since today is pi day Rachel and I were talking about how we really want some pie. I told her that I might be able to make one tonight and bring it in for us in advisement tomorrow.  Rachel and I went through a list of different types of pie. Consisting of, chocolate cream pie, apple pie, cherry pie and peanut butter pie. Rachel gasped as I said peanut butter pie. So I took that as a hint that she wants me to make and bring in a peanut butter pie for us and the leftovers can be for the rest of our advisement. I hope I will have enough time to make this pie tonight. I will try my best to make it and make it taste like the best pie she had ever eaten in her life. I really hope she will like it because every time I make it everyone says how great it is.

My Twenty Fifth Act of Kindness

Today I had art first block and that was after I helped Rachel pick up everything she dropped. I was still feeling really kind and I was in a great mood for some reason. In art we had to use pastels to make backgrounds for our bugs we are painting. I asked Rachel what kind of background I should draw. She then told me to draw her face. I told her that I am not that good of an artist to draw something so beautiful. Since she was in a bad mood because of what previously happened I felt accomplished because she smiled and told me that that made her whole day. After I told her that I could tell it brightened her day because for the rest of the day she was in a great mood. Then later that day she thanked me again and said only if everyone could be as kind as you.  

My Twenty Fourth Act of Kindness

After school on Tuesday, March 12^th I didn’t have anything to do until three o’clock when our softball practice started. I went to my locker just to waste some time. When I got to my locker I saw Hannah at her locker. She had all of her stuff out of her locker for some reason. I walked over and asked her what she was doing. She said nothing and that she was just cleaning and organizing her locker. Since I didn’t have anything else to do I decided to help her out. By the time I went and helped her we only had about ten minutes until practiced started. So, we had to hurry and organize everything. I helped her by putting all the papers from her folder into the correct binders for each class. Then by the time I finished that I put her binders and folders back into her locker.  

My Twenty Third Act of Kindness

I was walking down the hallway before first block today. I was shocked because no one was really in the hall way except a few people. Then as I turned the corner I saw Rachel and Sam. They were just standing there talking and it didn’t seem like anything was wrong. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw Rachel drop all of her books. I was confused of why she just randomly dropped her books. Then I saw Sam walk away and she didn’t help Rachel pick them up. I felt bad for Rachel because all of her papers fell out of her folder and they were all over the place. Her face turned bright red; you could tell she was embarrassed. So I walked over to her and helped her clean up all of her papers. I then walked with her to our first block class we had together.

My Twenty-Second Act of Kindness

In advisement sometime last week Rachel’s throat hurt. She didn’t have a drink. She asked me if I did, but I didn’t. Then when I went to my locker I found out that I had my wallet.  For once I actually had money in it. So then I offered to buy her a drink. When I offered to buy her one a few people were standing around us and heard me. I ended up not only buying Rachel a drink but I bought one for Delaney, Hannah and myself as well. After we got back to advisement from the vending machine people were selling candy bars. I felt bad saying no when they asked because they obviously knew I had money because I was holding my wallet. So I bought a candy bar for Rachel, Delaney, Makenzie, Hannah and myself. Rachel was very happy because her throat felt a lot better after she had a drink.

My Twenty-First Act of Kindness

Over the weekend I really didn’t want to do anything.  This is because I was finally starting to get over my head cold. I usually sleep in late like until a little after noon. But, Brandon wanted me to go to the sportsman show with him. This meant on Sunday I had to get up around nine o’clock in the morning because we had to be there by ten. I really didn’t want to go in the first place because that kind of stuff doesn’t really interest me. But, I went without complaining to him how bored I was. Then he asked if I would go again I said maybe because I didn’t want to seem mean. I didn’t tell him but I was really bored and I wasn’t going to complain. I can’t complain because he returned the favor by going to my grandma’s house later that day with me.

My Twentieth Act of Kindness

In advisement the other day Rachel was stuck on a few math problems. I was feeling very kind and helped her by explaining the procedure to her so she will know what to next time. I also explained to her why her answer didn’t check and why my answer was correct because it checked. Then we both have English together and she wasn’t sure what our homework was. I told her and we both worked on it together. She didn’t really understand some of the questions because she didn’t remember that part of the reading we had read in class the day before. So I explained the questions she didn’t understand and she helped me as well with some of the questions I didn’t understand. Later that day my friend was having a bad day and he didn’t feel like doing anything. I gave him advice and when it was time to hand in our papers I went up and handed it in for him.    

My Nineteenth Act of Kindness

Yesterday was Wednesday and I had nothing to do after school. I usually have somewhere to go or I just take a nap. But I wasn’t tired yesterday and I didn’t have any plans.  So I decided that I would help my mom out because she had a bad day at work. I helped her out by doing a few different chores. I never do other peoples laundry I always just do my own. But yesterday my mom needed some help because my little brother was very tired and cranky, so I did it for her. Then I did the dishes for the first time ever. We don’t have a dish washer so I had to wash all the dishes by hand, it was kind of gross. After that I helped vacuum and dust the living room and her bedroom. My mom thanked me and then in return she made my favorite dessert peanut butter pie.  

My Eighteenth Act of Kindness

Over our February break I was with my friends for basically the entire week. I think I was home once the whole week. But when I was home I wasn’t by myself. My friends came over and slept over. Then that next morning we all woke up super early for some weird reason. So we all decided we wanted eggs and pancakes. Since everyone was at my house I was a nice host and made them for them. I can’t say they were the best eggs and pancakes but they ate every last bit of them, so they must have been pretty good. Then that night my parents had a party or something to go to so we were home alone babysitting my little brother.  I didn’t think they wanted to eat my food again so I decided to order subs for us all and I was very kind and paid for them all with my own money.  

My Seventeenth Act of Kindness

One of my closest friends, Sam, has been going through a tough time for this whole week. Her family has been too. Sam is having a hard time dealing with this loss. This family member was really close to her and to the rest of her family. I have never been put into this situation before. So, I tried to give Sam advice to keep her head up. I hope my advice helped her. Rachel and I in art this morning were singing to her and trying to make her laugh. We were very successful with changing her mood for a little while. Before the block was over and before she left to go to the hospital for one of her final visits I gave her a big hug and tried to cheer her up. She smiled and thanked me for the advice and for making her laugh and getting her mind off of things for a little bit.

My Sixteenth Act of Kindness

Every Monday night I have religion at St. Johns the Baptist school. They always give us opportunities to help at mass either on Saturday or Sunday’s. You can either bring up the gifts or you can greet people at the door. My friend Makenzie and I decided to bring up the gifts at a Sunday morning mass. I guess that not a lot of people volunteer to do so since they asked me to do it again. This Sunday I am planning on bringing the gifts up to the altar again. This past Monday we had an assembly not an actual class. The assembly was about achieving excellence for yourself and others. We all had to sign a poster saying what we will do this week to achieve excellence. I wrote to be kind to others because, being kind makes you feel better and makes those other people feel better as well. So I was being kind right away and at that religion assembly I told all of my friends they looked beautiful.

My Fifteenth Act of Kindness

Today in lunch my friends and I were all talking about random stuff like usual. When I asked Joey to peel my orange for me he brought up the fact that I always ask him to do stuff for me and that he always does it for me.  So in return at the end of the lunch I brought up all of his garbage. I didn’t just bring up his garbage I brought up everyone’s garbage that was sitting at the table. But before lunch was over I went up to go get a snack. I then bought him a snack as well. After I did that for him I told him I am going to go to the musical on Friday to watch him, he said thanks and was really happy. Then as we were walking back to class after lunch I helped Sam walk up the stairs because her ankle hurt so bad.

My Fourteenth Act of Kindness

Today in advisement some students came in and were selling candy bars. They were juniors and they are selling them for their prom.  Since my friend Sam Jurek hurt her ankle at her basketball practice the other day while running sprints. Since she was icing it she couldn’t get up and get one. Rachel Kibler was sitting next to her as well. I had five dollars at the beginning of advisement. Let’s just say that I left advisement with no money left. Since I bought Sam a candy bar, and Rachel was sitting right there I bought her one as well. Then as I was buying one for Sam, Rachel and myself, I ended up buying one for Delaney Keppner and Joe King as well.  They thanked me and then I helped them with their homework. I also helped some of my friends study while I was in advisement today.  

My Thirteenth Act of Kindess

This past Saturday my parents wanted to go out. It was our family friend’s fiftieth birthday party. I had plans for that night with some friends. But I dropped my plans with my friends to baby sit my little brother. My parents left for the party about seven at night so I thought he was going to only be up for about two more hours. So I was okay with it. My friend Hannah came over because her mother went to the party along with my parents. We thought we were going to be able to just put him to bed and be able to watch movies or something. But, our whole plan back fired when he didn’t end up falling asleep until eleven. Then when my parents got home they woke us all up. I told my parents they could just go to bed and I’ll get him to fall back asleep.

My Twelfth Act of Kindness

For this past week my best friend Hannah was out sick. Since she only lives a few houses down from me I volunteered to bring her all of the work she was going to miss and all the work she had already missed. We have a lot of the same classes with the same teachers so it was fairly easy for me to help her with the work and collect it from all of the teachers. But with the work that we don’t have class together guidance collected it for me to give to her.  Although she was not very happy that I did this because she thought she was going to get out of doing all of her work for the past week. I don’t know how long she will be out but I will help her by collecting the work and explaining it to her for however long will have to.  

My Eleventh Act of Kindness

The other day I was at subway; when a few people I knew came in. I was ordering my sub and then all of a sudden I heard one of them say that they didn’t have enough money. At this point I was paying for my sub. With my change I helped one of them pay for the rest of their meal. They got really excited because they were really hungry and they wanted a meal not just a sub. This was because they just got out of their swimming practice. Then when I got home from subway my mom asked for the change. I told her that I spent it all. Then she didn’t believe me so I told her that I gave some of the money to my friend to help him pay for his meal. The next day in school he tried to pay me back and I refused to take the money.  

My Tenth Act of Kindness

An act of kindness can be anything from lending someone something to helping a person in need. An act of kindness can be helping a stranger or a friend.  An act of kindness can be using your knowledge to help someone that may be confused. In advisement we all help each other out with our homework or studying. Today I helped Delaney with her homework and in return she helped me study for my English test. Then in advisement I lent Rachel a pen so she could do her homework and so she wouldn’t fail the test she was taking during that next block. When I was at my locker I saw the girl a few lockers down from me struggling with her locker ladder. All of her books fell out of it and she was almost late for her class. I felt bad so I went over and quickly helped her clean up her books and put the locker ladder back into her locker.

My Ninth Act of Kindness

My brothers and I are definitely not the best cooks in the world. On my mother’s birthday, January tenth, we made her dinner. I made her brownies which were the only thing out of the entire dinner that actually turned out and tasted good. My brothers decided to make chicken on the grill. My brother, that is in culinary school, ended up burning the chicken so we had to go to the store to buy some more. They also attempted to make rice and dinner rolls. The one pot of rice didn’t turn out at all. Then one tray of the rolls was totally black because they cooked them too long. I made the salad which turned out good as well. By the time my mom got home from work the chicken wasn’t cooked and the house was full of smoke. After dinner my mom was still really excited that she didn’t have to cook. It didn’t turn out but we tried our best.    

My Eighth Act of Kindness

On every Sunday I go to my grandparents’ house along with the rest of my family. My grandma was starting to get over the flu so she wasn’t feeling too great. I went there earlier than everyone else and helped her prepare dinner and dessert.  When everyone got there I helped her serve dinner to everyone. After dinner with dessert my aunts and uncles always want coffee. My grandpa usually makes it but he was still at work. So my cousin and I helped her get dessert together and we made the coffee. I do not like coffee and neither does my cousin. We didn’t know if it tasted too great but they didn’t complain. My cousin and I stayed a little later that night to help her clean up the mess because we felt bad. She sat on the couch because by the end of the night she wasn’t herself.  When it was time to leave she gave my cousin and I the biggest hugs and she had a huge smile on her face.

My Seventh Act of Kindness

During art class today everyone that passed me I gave complements to. From telling them I like their outfit to telling them they are my best friend. Also Rachel was struggling to figure out what to do with the rest of her journal page. I told her that she should do a few things but then she spelled something wrong because people were telling her that she was when she wasn’t. Then I told her to just fix it by adding something else over the entire word. She was able to incorporate the picture with the whole visual journal page. Then, my friend Chelsea needed some advice with relationship problems. I talked to her about it and gave her some pretty decent advice; At least I thought it was. Then she took my advice and was happy the rest of the day. I felt like I helped a lot of people out today.

My Sixth Act of Kindness

I spent my Friday night at a homeless shelter. I went with my friend’s little sister’s Girl Scout troop. At the shelter you are able to donate food or clothing items to the shelter. I don’t remember the exact name of the shelter but it was in down town Buffalo. They serve food to the homeless or to the poor. They don’t ask any financial questions when you walk in this way they don’t feel like they are being judged. They serve dinner every week day and then on Saturday and Sunday they serve lunch and dinner. Their dinner is served from five o’clock until seven o’clock. When the less fortunate walk through the entrance they have a choice if they want to take some clothing or produce with them. While I was there with the girl scouts I served food and washed the trays. Each person has one tray with a choice of two different sandwiches, a soup, a choice of salad or a fruit and optional dessert. They only had a twenty minute time limit to eat and “shop” I felt so sorry for each and every individual but mostly for the families and handicapped that came through. Some of these people come every day. It was great to see a smile on every one’s faces that came through the line they were so happy to have a hot meal on their plate and happy they were able to talk to people that might be going through the same thing.

My Fifth Act of Kindness

Today, I was not feeling to great and neither was Rachel Kibler. We both had stomach aches and were really tired. In lunch we didn’t feel too great and so we were complaining to each other. Then she told me some other things that were making her upset. Most of these other things were personal and she didn’t know what to do. So I gave her advice. Rachel was not the only person I gave advice to today. Hannah was not very happy today either. She was very upset and I begged her to tell me what was wrong. Then when she finally told me I gave her advice as well. Also, today during advisement Makenzie was freaking out about a test she had to take during the next block. She said she studied the night before but she was still scared so I helped her study more and told her she was fine. Today was a drab day for many people but I think I helped a few people push through their day.

My Fourth Act of Kindness

The other day Rachel Kibler and I were talking about grades. We both had a few low grades. She had a low grade in Global and Biology. I also have low grades in Biology and Global History. Rachel is in my advisement so we help each other out by studying with each other when we have quizzes or tests coming up. Although, Rachel has a different teacher in Biology as I do I try to help her as best as I can. She has Mr. Ertl and I have Mr. Kasper. Mr. Kasper goes through lessons very quickly but Mr. Ertl is a unit or two behind. I try to help Rachel as best as I can with the thing I remember. Global is and easy place for us to help each other with because we have the same teacher and we are in the same advisement so this makes it easy to study with each other. The last time I helped Rachel study biology she got a 95% on the quiz.

My Third Act of Kindness

The other day I went to the doctor’s office for a yearly checkup. My mother also had an appointment after my appointment. I didn’t feel like going to her appointment as well as mine. But, I am so glad I went because there was this old lady coming up the stairs. She had a walker and her husband dropped her off and helped her up the stairs. After he left she needed help to get to her seat. My mother was in the office and I was just sitting there waiting for her. Although she had a walker she moved very slowly and went maybe and inch per step. I felt terrible. So she was having trouble getting around the seats and the chair kept moving I held the chair for her so she was able to sit. After a while the nurse called her name and she had to get up. I held her hand and helped her stand up. The smile on her face after I helped her was precious.

My Second Act of Kindness

My second act of kindness was about two days ago. The other night my mother was not feeling so good because she is sick with a head cold. She slept from the time she got home from work which was around six o’clock and she woke up the next morning when she had to go back to work. I felt bad that my little brother kept annoying her while she was sleeping. I made my family dinner and I took care of my little brother for the rest of the night. I fed him dinner, played games with him, gave him a bath, and put him to bed. He is also sick so he was not to happy, he was a little crabby. In the morning when my mom woke me up for school she was very thankful she said she needed a break because she did not feel well at all that night.

My First Act of Kindness

Over my Christmas break my I went shopping at the mall. I bought a lot of new clothes with all of my money and gift cards. I bought most of the stuff but then my mom pitched in when I ran out of money. When we were standing in line at a store, I don’t remember which one, but a lady dropped her purse and a few things fell out of it. I felt bad because she had three little kids with her and she started freaking out. She was holding the infant and the other kids were running around and she didn’t know what to do. So my immediate reaction was to help her pick up the stuff so she could still watch her children. She was so happy to have someone help her when she was struggling. It felt really good to help someone out and hear them say thank you.
