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.
