Day 17, My last day :'-(

As my last day, I did something that I would DEFINITELY normally wouldn't do. I did my sister's, my brother's and my chores without complaining. My mom was tired and my brother and sister were gone so I did their chores.
I knew all my hard work made a difference because my mom was less tired and the house is a bit cleaner.
I feel tired but good because I always like things to look neat.
I think my mom felt thankful because she said, "Thank You!" to me lots of times.

Day 16

Today I have made a difference by picking up rubbish in the school. There was lots, so I picked some of them up.
I knew I had made a difference because I have made the school just a tiny bit cleaner.
I feel happier because I just did something for the school and the environment.
I think that the other students would feel happier to go to cleaner school.

Day 15

Today I made a difference by cleaning the bathtub, since it was very dirty. My mom wasn't home yet and she would come home tired so I didn't want her worrying about the bathroom anymore.
I knew I had made a difference because my mom doesn't have to worry about the bathroom for the rest of the week now.
I feel sort of happy because I had just taken one thing off my mom's to-do list.
I think she felt thankful because when she came home and looked in the bathroom she smiled and said "Thank you," to me.

What my mom thinks...

Day 14

Today my kind act was doing the shelving in the library, even though it wasn't my turn. The person who was supposed to do it didn't want to do it, and I didn't want them to get in trouble so I did it for them.
I knew I had made a difference because if I just left them there would be trouble and Mrs. Saunders would've had to tell the person off.
I feel sort of mad but happy for myself. I feel sort of mad because the other librarian was just lazy and I feel happy because I did my duty and more.
I think the person (not mentioning any names!) would feel thankful if he actually noticed because he would have realized that he didn't get in trouble.

Day 13

Today I made a difference in the community by tidying up the school books that were scattered on the floor. They were supposed to be in Mrs. Dada's black bag and no one was tidying them up so I did it.
I knew that my effort had helped because those books might have been stepped on and ruined because no one was picking them up, so I did it.
I feel sort of happy because if people hadn't taken care or avoided those books, they might have ruined them and I prevented that.
Mrs. Dada and the people who owned those books didn't see me, but I think they might feel thankful and relieved because their work wouldn't have been ruined.

Day 12

My difference for today was helping Caela clear and fix up her desk. It was really messy!
I knew I had made a difference because her desk was a real mess and she needed someone to help her and I did.
I feel enlightened because I did something to make someone's day.
I think Caela felt thankful because she said, "Thanks for helping me clean my desk."

Day 11

My random act of kindness of today was giving my little brother some of my ice cream.
I knew that my act of kindness had taken effect because he was sad, because he wasn't allowed any sweets because he was grounded, unless either my sister or I would give him some.
I feel generous because I normally wouldn't do this for him.
I think he felt thankful (even though he didn't show it, he just wolfed it down!) because he looked happy and surprised!

Day 10

My difference for today was helping pack up the tatami mats in our karate training area. I even went under the stage (where it was dark and covered with creepy crawlies!) just to organize the mats and make sure that they were in order.
I knew that I had somehow made a difference because there were not much people to help, and if I didn't help, our instructor would do them all by himself.
I feel dirty but good because I had just made someone's day.
I think my instructor felt relieved because he had other important commitments to go to.

Day 9

Today my good deed was helping my sister collect money for the guide dogs for the for the blind.
I knew my good deed made a difference because if my sister didn't have any help, then we would have less money than we do now.
I feel happy because I knew I had just did something to change someone else's life.
I think my sister and maybe blind people would feel aprreciative.

Day 8

Today I made a difference by letting a Year 7 girl sit beside me in the Year 8
row at choir.
I know I had made a difference because she had nowhere else to sit and I let her sit beside me so that she won't sit on the floor.
I feel happy because I think I had made a new friend.
I think she felt relieved because she won't have to be embarrassed because she won't have to sit on the floor.
