Family and Random Acts
I believe random acts of kindness are related to our class because the health fields are service fields. We will be working with people. We need to be able to get along with others. We will need to be or learn to be givers. They say people get well faster if they have the right attitude. If we work in health services and we help our patients by being positive around them they may get better faster, and I think we will enjoy our work more too. My favorite random act of kindness from the past nine weeks is something that happened here at the local fishing hole on Lewisburg Highway. One day I was fishing there and I caught three big Rainbow Trout. My step-dad Mark and I met a man who was also fishing for trout. He said he was taking his fish home to feed his family. I decided I would like him to have my three fish too. It felt like the right thing to do. Mark really bragged on me to my mom and told her how happy that made him to see me just decide to do that on my own.
I have done a lot more than three a week. Some other things I have done without being asked over the past nine weeks are:
I have written grocery lists, and cooked for the family. One night I made a shrimp dish that was everyone's favorite.
I got a hair cut and the lady was extra nice and did a really good job. I said to her, “ Thanks, you are the best hair stylist ever.” She was touched and we were both really happy.
One day at school a friend was cold and I let her have my hoodie even though I was cold too.
I have helped with carrying in groceries. I will bring bags in from the car in the garage. Mom puts the groceries up.
I have held the door for others. I hold the door for family and strangers at restaurants and such. I hold the door at church sometimes.
I help with watching my baby brother. I play with him. I swing him in the swings. I love to make him laugh.
I make sure out cat has water in the garage.
I have helped my mom and relatives by playing with and entertaining cousins. I let them

    I am an active member of a service organization called Key Club. One day during Key Club week is Random Acts of Kindness Day. My goal was to start implementing this in my everyday life. On a daily basis, we can be selfish to the needs of others without even realizing it. Everything was put in perspective for me when one afternoon I stopped by the Dollar Tree to pick up some supplies. It was the cashiers birthday and she was turning 74. We wished her a happy birthday and she explained how her family had not planned anything for her birthday. After we left we decided that we should go ask her if she would like to go out to eat and we’d sing her happy birthday. She said she couldn’t because her husband would be waiting for her. So we sang for…

    My maternal grandmother, Kwun, was born in Fujian, China in 1919. Her rural community consisted mainly of farmers, and their society most resembled the clan family pattern where the hoe was the primary mode of production. In comparison to other residents of her town, she was raised in a relatively wealthy household; her parents were shopkeepers for a local tea business and field work was not required of her. However, she was still a productive member of society and contributed by taking care of the younger children in her family. Kwun’s household size varied while she grew up. She was the second oldest child out of four or five children, the exact number of her siblings is unknown since infant mortality was…

    I learned many things about myself and the world around me. One major thing I learned serving breakfast to the homeless was how important it is to give back to the less fortunate. Something as simple as saying hello or handing them a napkin can put the biggest smile on someones face and make their day. Giving back should not be such a burden on people. Our generation today complains and complains. We think we have it so bad because we can't do things like have a logo on our jackets, but when you think about it, at least we have jackets. From this experience. I learned that giving back to others needs to be made a priority in my life. I realized how much I value community service and how important it is to me. Equally important, I learned the importance of faith. For some of these people, faith is all that they have. God is the only person they have to fall back on. For someone who lives on the streets without a home or a family, faith and prayer can mean the world to them. Another important thing that I learned about myself is how good helping others makes me feel. To know that I made a difference in the world and helped someone get through their day, as rough as it was, fills me with a sense of gratitude. This experience was a true eye-opener for…

    Last summer, as part of my high school graduation project, I volunteered at Saunders House nursing home. I choose this experience because it was something that I had never done before and I wanted to lend a helping hand. When I first came up with the idea of volunteering at a nursing home, I wanted to help out with activities and meet with some of the residents. At first it was challenging because I was extremely shy; however after getting to know the residents a little better, I started to feel more comfortable around them. My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents by doing different activities from word games, to playing chess, I feel like I accomplished that goal.…

    What I did as kindness would be that I help my mom do chores at home without them telling me to help. I will see that they where always working hard and they will come home preatty late. So I kind of took care of home and my two brothers. and sometimes my dad too when he felt really bad, what I mean by bad would be that he had lukimia cancer. My mother work as a babysitter she will go to work mostly of the time at 6am and come back at 10pm and on weekends she would clean houses so she never had time to do chores at home or make dinner. My father worked in construction he was a hard worker too he will go to work a little later than my mom and come home earlier than her too. he was the one the took us to school when he could. Or one of my aunts would take us to school when he couldn't. My dad also was battleing lukimia cancer for 10 years, he past away at age 41 september-29-2009.…
