How I Have Impacted the World

Who wants to make changes in the world? I do because I want to help others and make the world better.When you help others you’re helping the whole world. You’re helping the world by giving to each other. Giving means (to help) one another when ever they need help. For example: If some one is getting bullied and falls to the ground you should help them. Do not just leave them sitting there feeling left out, being sad, or even walking around by himself or herself. Sometimes people don’t realize it, but when you help someone, you are in a way helping yourself. All the good you may do, others will always copy what you are doing all your life. No one knows when or how he/she is going to need help. I am 12 years old right now. I began to help an old lady with her yard work this year. She would always want to pay me, but I always refused to accept it. But I took it some times because she forced me to take it. The work was not an issue for me, I really enjoyed helping her. The main reason was that she reminded me of my grandpa, and I wouldn’t want him doing yard work. Also I do not think people should accept money from an elderly person. Until I graduate from high school and get a job, I am going to make time to help her out as much as possible. When you do something for someone else, it feels good. I often wonder when I get old will I have someone there to help me? Will I have the strength and energy to do the things myself? I know that I will always help others, and whatever happens in my life, I will always have the memories of the people that I have helped over the years. As we look at our own lives we should think about is there any other ways we can we can make difference in people’s lives. You may help out an organization, I feel that my experience with helping people has made a difference in peoples lives. for example: The lady that I help with her yard work, is more happy now then before. As you go

    Jane Goodall once said, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” To make a difference, an individual must be willing to make a difference, no matter the consequences. An individual must be brave, smart, and they have to stick to their morals.…

    I chose to perform an anonymous act of kindness in the drive thru at Starbucks Friday morning on the way to work in completion of this assignment when I paid for the customer’s order behind me. I thought about it for a little while wondering if they too would pay it forward. So last night I was looking at my Facebook page, and my Aunt Theresa posted “So I went to Starbucks this morning (long line!!) When I got to the window cashier said the car in front of me paid for my drink! I thought whoo hoo! and then I asked why.. she said the car in front of them paid for theirs and the car in front of them paid for theirs... so.. I paid for the car behind me..

    I’ve always heard that it only takes one person to make a difference in this world, and that one person is going to be me. I matter in this world because, I’m a loving wife, and wonderful mother to my two children. Although I’m not a wealthy person, I can describe myself as an ambitious, generous, vivacious and very eager to learn woman. I have a few goals in life, and one was to teach my children that just because they don’t have money, it doesn’t mean they don’t have wealth. Being born in the country or the city doesn’t make people what or who they are, but how they are raised with morals and values makes the person who they become. Everyone in the world matters, not because of what they do, but by simply who they are.…

    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…

    The Kiwanis International Club held a survey where they asked when is it important to help out others? 75% of people believe in helping others when it will have an important impact on not only their lives but on other people's lives. When asked what type of community service makes the biggest difference, ⅔ answered hands on activities such as donating supplies, volunteering with a local service club, or participating in local community events have a bigger influence than just giving out money (Most Americans Believe One Can Can Change the World). Today, because of the sacrifices and achievements of many strong leaders, others now have their independence from countries, they have the right to vote, improved working conditions, or just an opportunity to be a better person. According to the survey on volunteerism done by the Kiwanis International Club, 86% of Americans believe one person can make a change (“Most Americans Believe One Can Change the World”). If this many people believe that humans are capable of making a change in the world, then the only thing stopping us from improving the world is us. As a quote by an anonymous person states “If you’re searching for that one person who will change your life...take a look in the mirror”; humans are the future of the world, and to live prosperous lives, we should be willing to help improve not only our living conditions, but to not be selfish and lend a helping hand to others in need as well. What the world is molded into is because of us, and as John F. Kennedy once said, “Making a positive difference in our own life or the lives of others, organizations, and the world at large starts with a healthy mind, body, and spirit, and a change of daily thoughts, communications, and actions of our own self…

    I love to help people; it never gets old for me. At an early age, my family joined Jack and Jill of America, which is an organization that performs community service within the community. Because of my involvement in Jack and Jill, helping people has always been a passion of mine. If I see someone that is in need, wherever I am, I never hesitate to assist that person. My father told me that when I was younger he used to give me money and I would try to give it to people who were less fortunate. Helping others is something that I enjoy doing and it will never grow old with me.…

    Before, I was all about myself, I knew what I needed and knew what to do to get what I needed. But since I have had this experience I have decided that giving is the life for me. I now see that I am not the only person in the world that has needs, and I am also not the only person in the world who struggles to meet said needs. And I believe that if I lead the rest of my life giving, I could inspire someone else to give, too. Luther was all it took to start the peasant revolt. That alone is enough proof that if one mind changes, several will follow after it. If we all become giving citizens maybe we can all find our inner…

    An Act of Kindness - 1

    • 595 Words

    Assisting other people is distinguished because if you assist, you will be able to make a difference. Likewise, to start with my personal act of kindness that I have done for someone, I would like to share a kind behavior, which I use to practice on a regular basis and which devotes me eminent pleasure. I use to keep a change of fewer than 5 bucks with myself. I carry through this money for the very first human who demands if I can "give up some change". Cheering and keeping eye contact, I use to react really gladly with a remark such as, "Indeed, I'd be happy to" or "Sure, why not". And I grant them the change and then substitute it…
