Middle School Kindness Essay

“Work to view my autism as a different ability rather than a disability. Look past what you may see as limitations and see the gifts autism has given me…Be my advocate, be my friend, and we’ll see just how far we can go” –Ellen Botbohm, author of Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew.

The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

Last May, I traveled with Alternative Breaks to New York for community service. During this service, I worked with Meals on Wheels who dedicate their time to provide food for the elderly of Manhattan. As I delivered the food to the seniors, I got a sense of fulfillment because I made them smile by providing them with food. Thus, I chose MDC’s Single Stop because I wanted to make a difference in my home campus by providing and assuring nourishment to those that do not have it just like I did in New York. As my first two years of college comes to an end, I wanted to leave a mark of my own here at home at Miami Dade College North Campus. During the month of September, I decided to partner up with a few of my peers to serve at MDC’s Single Stop.

We donated our time to a charity during the fall, the JROTC program decided to do the Mana Cafe to help those in need. It was a food drive and people would help gather food together to deliver it to families that needed it for the winter. Everyone was pitching together and doing their part to get the food together and in the people’s car. Even in the cold weather, everyone was having fun, knowing that they were doing excellent in their hearts. Therefore that day families were allowed to eat despite their economic struggle and all as a result of the service we did to help them.

Waves of people arrived with arms full of canned foods; I was simply amazed at the altruism and benevolence those people possessed. The groups of people formed a semicircle and the same coordinator who I was first introduced to earlier began speaking about the event. She proclaimed that the purpose of the event hosted today was to not only provide assistance to those in need today but for many years to come. She continued by giving her countless thanks to the groups who gave a helping hand and donated their time to the Jubilee Center, as well as the event. As I looked across the crowd of people, I noticed that there were some who were very young, some still in elementary school and others who appeared wise and sagacious. Despite the difference in age, there was one thing that grouped all the people there in common: they all shared a passion to support those in

I always wanted to have a positive impact on my community, as well as facilitate positive change. Joining W.H.Y and being a part of my community through my church has allowed me to expand and have a say in what goes on. As a part of W.H.Y I am privileged with the opportunity to expose myself to different things including classrooms with toddlers who happen to be autistic. These visits to our local preschool are meant to help the children to socialize and become used to people they do not encounter every day, as well as help the teachers with their respective loads in terms of classroom maintenance.

Witnessing the youth give their time and effort to make sure that they finish each and every task they were assigned really showed their dedication and drive to helping people in need.

Autism Speaks enhances lives today and is accelerating a spectrum of solutions for tomorrow.” Based on research, Autism Speaks does a great job to help those with Autism. They also help others understand what Autism is by providing useful information to uninformed parents and family members. The organization is built to bring people to understand what autism is and how an individual can help and support a child with autism. The mission statement is relevant to their goal as an NPO and no changes should be made to their mission statement.

Curious about the kind of support available to 64 million Americans living with disabilities, I decided to explore this cause and community. I applied and was accepted as an AFK program mentor. Soon, I was working with Michael, a 13-year-old, who was nothing like my preconception of someone with autism. Over the next two years, we met nearly every week, played

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.

At Santa Maria College, we are educated to treat others with respect and to always help out and lend a helping hand to those who are in need. To show this in the community, Santa Maria Students actively provided volunteer work to organisations, in hope to build confidence, character and respect for others. This year I volunteered at Scotch College, and helped out a Grade 2 teacher with many different tasks, that would have been a struggle and challenge to achieve alone. Having my service here was a great eye opener to the how much passion and effort employees put into their jobs, to ensure the greatest possible experience for those who they help. So by learning this early I aimed to do the same for Mrs Fowles when I volunteered fro he during the holidays. At my visits to the school I was assigned many tasks, mostly helping organisation of her classroom for the new school year. Throughout the days at my service activity, I completed filing work, marking, cleaning and helped carry heavy loads of books, stationary, are classroom furniture. This organisation has been able to provide an intellectual and personal challenge programme in keeping with the best traditions of liberal education. Scotch promotes individuality, opportunity, equity and excellence. Their mission is to develop young men with strength of character, self-understanding, a passion for sustained learning and spiritual inquiry who will become active members of the global community. One of the principals of social justice that I addressed was that children may receive a strong education and are taught strong morals and beliefs. By having my own experiences in receiving an education I have learnt that students are in desperate need for a good, organised learning area and a caring and loving learning environment. People can often label the need for a good and proper education as not a high priority, however is not the case. Through my service I aimed to provide lending hand and help to address and improve this issue in society by starting at the college. By the end, I was pleased with myself myself that I had been able to really make a differences to Mrs Fowles, and that I was able to unload a large stress off her back. As Nelson Mandela once said
