Complete Three Random Acts Of Kindness

The short story"Aha Moment" by Julia Alvarez demonstrates that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on. The story expresses the idea that simple acts of kindness can make a great impact on people both mentally and physically. It can turn frightening and tense situations into assurance and aplomb. In paragraph 8, it is stated," no one screamed,no one panicked. I could hear small pockets of soothing conversation everywhere." By holding the hands and by chatting about everyday life, the passengers emboldened each other and created an optimistic atmosphere. The author points out,"someone was comforting me and kept asking me,'Are you okay?" According to Julia if someone does something good and beneficial for you, you should pass

I later realized that I should try to get some of my friends and classmates involved too. l started out my junior year. One thing our teacher tried to teach us was the acts of random kindness. After practicing random acts of kindness throughout the school, I mentioned the idea of volunteering a couple of hours with the Angel Tree. I also encouraged our school’s Student Council to help. The club adopted two angels. By doing so, this gave the students the desire to want to volunteer again the following year. This year, we had Beta club, student council and two dual credit classes, a total of 40-50 students, volunteer at the warehouse for 2 days. Some even came back during Christmas Break and volunteered at the Distribution Day. Not only is it important to lead and serve others, but one should also encourage those around him or her to serve others as

I wanted to do well in college. I didn't have to ride trains or worry about the violence, but more about reaching my goals. On the first day of class, the campus was full of people, all travelling in different ways all with the same ideal destination in place, class. Unsure of where to go or even the name of my building, I was lost. As I searched for my class, the campus seemed confusing and huge. I looked around with a nervous expression plastered on my face and I sat on a bench near my dorm. I felt defeated by life. I kept second guessing college entirely, when a familiar face appeared. It was a girl from my hall who I bonded with since we had the same class. She said “If you are lost, you can just walk with me” and we took off. Her small gesture made me on time for class and saved me from an emotional breakdown. As I look around campus today and notice people who seem lost, I offer them directions and even shortcuts on how to get there. The feeling of being lost and unsure brings failure to my heart. Doing small kind gestures for strangers could change their entire day, which brings me priceless joy.

I think that this is just how kindness works; if someone does someone nice for you without a reason it spreads to you and makes you want to help someone else, kindness is

I felt that I needed to give back to them. Thanks to the Southwest Rotary Club, I was able to participate in Rotary International’s Student Exchange Program. So upon hearing about this assignment, I contacted my former exchange advisor and she informed me about this program. The “Feed the Homeless” program is held once a month at Christ Episcopal Church. There are two main jobs there and since I was there for three different months, I got to do both. The first job is preparing meals in the kitchen. The kitchen worked like an assembly line, each person manned one food item and the sandwiches were assembled as it went across the kitchen before arriving at a window where they would be picked up by the homeless. There was always one person directing how many sandwiches needed to be made and assigning people to different roles. It was necessary to have a boss in the kitchen since we had to move fast to keep up with the line of people, and if there was no clear authority, people would be tripping over each other and progress would be slowed. This was illustrated the second time I volunteered, I arrived a little too early and there were only teens from the church youth group present. We decided to start preparing the food early to save us more work later. This did not work well since half the people stood around confused (including myself), and the other half just

Sexual Experimentation, Drug and Alcohol Abuse In The Virgin Suicides and A Complicated Kindness, the restrictions that religion puts in place cause the youth to rebel against that religious system. In A Complicated Kindness, it is made clear from the beginning of the text that there is “a ban on the media, dancing, smoking, temperate climates, movies, drinking, rock ’n’ roll, having sex for fun, swimming, make-up, jewellery, playing pool, going to cities, or staying up past nine o’clock” (Toews 5). These strict rules against what are considered standard activities lead Nomi to rebel.

For my random act of kindness, I helped a stranger who ran out of gas on the highway. A young woman riding a bicycle waived my husband and me down in front of the Support Site gate. She began to explain to us that she had run out of gas on the highway near the Carinaro exit, and needed assistance getting to the closest gas station. Usually, I am a naturally suspicious person and would have made up some reason for not being able to help her but this time I figured why not. The women got into my car and we began heading to the nearest gas station. During our ride, we exchanged pleasantries and made small talk.

Recently, the East Sac County Middle School started a kindness act in an effort to spread kindness. The students have spread kindness throughout their school in a number of ways. One of these efforts include the seventh grade chain of kindness, which is a system where students write down a genuine act of kindness on a paper ring and hang the paper ring on a chain throughout the hall. The 7th grade chain stretched down the entire 7th grade hallway demonstrating the numerous random acts of kindness carried out recently.

Throughout the week of January 9-13, Mrs. Thompson’s Language Arts classes conducted a Kindness Experiment. Students were asked to complete kind gestures and encourage recipients to pay them forward. This task created a kindness chain that is still going on today. Students and teachers are passing the torch of kindness and doing amazing things. This proves that kindness is contagious!

This small act of kindness has made a big impact on me and was very important for me. Without their help, I couldn't have saved my image among all the national competitors I had to present to. When I look back this, I'm glad to have experienced this obstacle. Though it was stressful, I learned the importance of the act of kindness. Perhaps for them, them it made no difference, but for me, it made a big impact on my day and

“Nothing ever goes my way!” we, as teenagers, sometimes like to think. I, myself have been caught thinking this same way when I desire something, whether it be a tangible item, or a chance to hangout with some friends. Upon completing my senior project, my eyes were wide open. I have always been aware that there are homeless and impoverished people in Sacramento, but witnessing a large number of less fortunate children in one setting, whom all feel that “having a little” is the way of life was a bit appalling to me. There isn’t much that I could have done for the children financially, but I do feel that I left an impression on some of the children’s hearts.

In eighth grade, I reached beyond my community and took part in a Stop Hunger Now program. The goal was to package 20,000 meals in under two hours and we reached it with time to spare. We wrote a reflection after having engaged in this service event; I don’t remember exactly what I had written, but I do remember the contentment I felt after helping that number of people. I learned that I retain a sense of confidence and satisfaction when someone has a smile on their face as a result of my

Before doing this project I did not understand how it related to what we were learning in class. Honestly I never put much thought into how putting uplifting notes in a public place would affect the people who read them. But then I realized that when someone says something uplifting to me that it makes me feel good. That is what happened when I posted uplifting notes at my dad’s fire station.

* One thing is always sure when you 're a nice person; people will tend to reciprocate in your time of need because as individuals, we 're bound to face challenges, disappointments and looses at some point in our lives. When you 've been nice to others during their struggles, it 's more likely they will return the favor during your hard times. That is just human nature, most of us feel really motivated to help those that have helped us, i am a very sure bet in this regard. It’s an aspect of me that i strive to do more often because i feel that individual has slightly changed my world with his acts of kindness. This is significantly valuable and it makes us feel important which is something we all want as individuals.

During a few of our classes we have learned about globalization, and a little bit more about the world we are currently in. This lesson entirely introduced me to the new problems that we are faced with today in current society. This lesson has impacted me a lot. I also learned how much donations and little actions can benefit everyone in every way. When we were putting away jackets I thought a while after about all the people who’d have something to wear this winter. The part was that they didn’t have to donate at all, but people continued to do so. It was the same with the food hamper, although we did not get many donations this year, people still had the thought to bring things in. No one was obligated to bring anything in at all, but merely encouraged. These small actions are going to be able to make others lives better.
